You didn't specify which PC environment you wanted - I have a several of each
for OS/2. One, SphyDir, comes bundled with an IBM "EWS" (employee-written
software) utility to do graphic file conversions.
SphyDir is particularly interesting because it allows full page construction
without the user needing to know a word of HTML, and when a file is saved, it
not only goes to disk as an HTML file, but as a raw IPF file, to be compiled
to .INF/.HLP format.
If you don't use OS/2 now, this alone might be a good reason to check it out.
