Russ,

     Well, you're right that there's not much difference outputing text & =
outputing html;   html is just a special form of text, after all...   I'm =
just anticipating things a bit too much;   if it really ends up becoming =
too much, it could always be split then.    But you're right, that's not =
likely to be any time soon....

I was planning on adding HTML to pkt2txt, as an option. I see a problem =
if=20
the code branches. What I think would happen is that features will get=20
added to one script, and then have to be ported to the other script. If =
it=20
becomes pkt2html, I'd like to keep the option to generate plain txt. =
Since=20
the only real difference will be the output, I don't think it makes =
much=20
sense to maintain two scripts that will be 80% identical code. On the =
other=20
hand, if the end goal is to have a package of scripts, then it might be =
a=20
good idea to modularize. But that would be down the road.
