+Servlet for converting documents
+================================
+
+Build preparation:
+==================
+In the file "ConverterServlet.html", search for the following line:
+<form action="http://localhost:8080/conversion/servlet/ConverterServlet" method=post enctype="multipart/form-data">
+Replace the existing IP address (localhost) with your intended IP address.
+
+Installation instructions:
+==========================
+1. If no web server is available you should install your favourite web server.
+ The example was tested with a Tomcat 4.1 server (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/)
+2. Download the servlet support Java archive (cos.jar) from
+ http://www.servlets.com/cos/index.html and copy the file to the directory
+ <OFFICE_HOME>/program/classes. If you don't use the created WAR (WAR = simple web archive file, it
+ is similar to a normal Jar file) file, please make these classes also known to your web server.
+3. You need also the Servlet API (servlet.jar). The Tomcat server comes with this Servlet API. Please
+ copy the file "servlet.jar" to the directory <OFFICE_HOME>/program/classes.
+ If you don't use the Tomcat server, make sure that the Servlet API is in the classpath of your web
+ server. You can download the Servlet API from http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/index.html .
+4. Use your GNU make (http://www.gnu.org) to build the servlet class.
+5. Make the servlet class known to your web server.
+ The example creates also a WAR file which can be easy deployed in a Tomcat server.
+ 5.1 Browse the 'Tomcat Web Application Manager'
+ 5.2 Navigate into the section 'Upload a WAR file to install'
+ 5.3 Browse to your generated WAR file and select it
+ 5.4 install it
+
+
+Converting documents with the servlet:
+======================================
+1. Browse your web server "http://<your_ip>/conversion/ConverterServlet.html" or
+ open the file "ConverterServlet.html" in your web browser and select a file.
+2. Select a type to convert the file to, and the extension for the converted file.
+3. Press the button. The document will be uploaded to the server, converted and
+ pushed back to the client. Your browser will open a dialog for saving the
+ converted document.
