To convert the FAQ txt files into html I used a perl script from
http://www.aigeek.com/txt2html

Visit that webpage for more info.

The perl script is in /pro/web/web/research/vis/include/txt2html

It uses a dictionary which is in /pro/web/web/research/vis/include/.txt2html.dict

If you want to add new functionality to this script or to the
dictionary, let me know (daf@cs.brown.edu)

Enjoy,
