  6. This example will capture the output of your AWK program
  7. and render that output dynamically to an HTML stream
  8. within a graphical window.
  9.  
  10. Requires Windows, and the WSH scripting host, both
  11. of which are native to any modern Windows installation.
  12.  
  13. To use this example, follow these three steps:
  14.  
  15. 1. Save this example to a file with an extension of 'HTA'
  16. eg - 'example.hta' (HTA meaning 'HyperText Application'
  17. is a proprietary format for Internet Explorer).
  18.  
  19. 2. Edit the line below containing 'program.awk datafile'
  20. and replace with your AWK program file, and your datafile.
  21.  
  22. 3. double click your HTA file to run it.
