From my study of the code, htag2 under dthelp/parser/pass2 is simply a newer
version of htag1 and ctag1 as they share 90% of the same code with pass2 having
newer SCCS file dates. Also unlike some of the other parsers we have had like
sgml to man which has been packaged separately by distributions, no one is
using these old parsers. We don't use them anywhere either. I think there is a
bigger case to stop building and distributing these old parsers than there was
even with the font editor programs, at least those were graphical and built
parts of CDE. htag1 and ctag1 do nothing. I am always hesitant to remove
historical programs from CDE, but I truly feel these programs serve no purpose
anymore. I propose we stop building and distributing them, and leave their
inclusion optional to the user.
Thank you for your time,
-Chase
