Past NCO HTML Documentations

[Daniel Neumann]

Hi Charlie,

is it possible to download the HTML documentations of previous NCO version? I tried to get the documentation of the current stable release (4.7.9) but only found the doc of the beta 4.8.0. I wanted to add the HTML page to our NCO installation directory to have an offline version of the documentation fitting to the installed version.

I have also an old NCO version installed, in which the --no_abc switch was not introduced in order to be able to run old scripts without having to modify them. Would be nice to get a HTML doc also for that version.

Cheers,
Daniel

Daniel,
Tarballs of old versions are here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nco/files/
Or you can check out source on GitHub.

Thanks, Charlie, for the rapid reply.

Unfortunately, there is no nco.html in the doc folder of the tar ball (all other html files are there). Building the html documentation via make nco.html (as documented in some manual) yields

make: *** No rule to make target 'nco.html'.  Stop.

The commands needed to "make" most derived files are in comments at the top of their source files. The top of nco.texi has this all-in-one command:
cd ~/nco/doc;texi2dvi nco.texi;makeinfo --html --ifinfo --no-split --output=nco.html nco.texi;makeinfo nco.texi;dvips -o nco.ps nco.dvi;texi2dvi --pdf nco.texi;makeinfo --xml --ifinfo --no-split --output=nco.xml nco.texi;makeinfo --no-headers --output=nco.txt nco.texi
You can use just the makeinfo --html portion...

Cool. Thanks.
