  4.1.) What does HTMLCRunch do?
        HTMLCRunch speeds up your HTML-pages by removing signs which are
        ignored by browsers anyway, such as   - superfluos blanks 
                                              - line feeds
                                              - comments
  4.2.) What about bugs?
        I tested it very thoroughly, but, nevertheless, if you find one,
        please tell me about it
  4.3.) How do I use it?
        HTMLCRunch is very simple to use - after all it has only got two
        switches:     -K   keep source files (default)
                      -O   overwrite source files (replace)
        You can use wildcards (*, ?).
        Here are a few examples:
         - htmlcr *.html
           All .html-files in the current directory are kept. The compressed
           ones will be named *.hcr.
         - htmlcr -o *.htm
           The .htm-files will be replaced with their compressed counterparts.
           BE CAREFUL when using the "overwrite" switch: You won't be able
           to restore your source files. So always have a backup ;).
         - htmlcr a*.htm -o b*.html -k test.htm
           a*.htm and test.htm will be kept, b*.html will be replaced.

  I wrote this program 'cause I just had a little freetime. So don't 
  expect this to do miracles!
