Ok, I should not have assumed you were running some form of Unix.
If you have success with:
set TMPDIR=d//
./htdig -i -c ../conf/htdig.conf
Try
set DOC2HTML_LOG
set TMPDIR=d//
./htdig -i -c ../conf/htdig.conf
which should increase the information you get out of doc2html.pl
Did you have to modify doc2html to get it to work under DOS? If so I would
like to know
what changes you made so that they can go into the next release.
If you are using the C-shell then that would become:
setenv DOC2HTML_LOG
setenv TMPDIR=d//
./htdig -i -c ../conf/htdig.conf
Whereas Bourne Shell and (I think) Bash it would be:
DOC2HTML_LOG=""
TMPDIR=d//
export DOC2HTML_LOG, TMPDIR
./htdig -i -c ../conf/htdig.conf
