ivtdir Plugin for Total Commander and couple utilities for help to convert
.ivt to compiled HTML

Version 0.3. Tested with TC 6.03a-6.55 under Win2k with files from
DevStudio 5.


.ivt files are the file format of the Microsoft InfoViewer program. This
format was the native help format used with DevStudio for a while, also the
MSDN subscriber CD's shipped during at least 1998 contained their
documentation in this format.

ivtdir.wcx adds support of .ivt file format to Total Commander, allows you to
extract and search files in .ivt.

ivtlist.exe extracts all files from .ivt file into current dir and corrects
HREF links to HTML files of A tags for local browsing.

toc2hhc.exe converts file table of contents of .ivt (usually source.toc) to
HTML help contents file and deletes not referred in source.toc HTML-files.
