<br><h2>Running the Scripts Using MacPerl</h2>
<p>Most of HeaderDoc runs on Mac OS 9 and earlier if MacPerl
is installed. (You can get MacPerl from the <span class="content_text"><a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/ports/index.html" target="_top">CPAN ports</a></span> page.) To run HeaderDoc using MacPerl:</p>
<ul class="content_text"><li class="content_text">Change the
line endings in the scripts and modules (<code>*.pm</code> files)
from UNIX to Macintosh. Many text editors (BBEdit, for example)
let you easily change line ending types.</li><br>
<li class="content_text">Run MacPerl, open <code>headerDoc2HTML.pl</code> and <code>gatherHeaderDoc.pl</code> and
save them as droplets. You might save them with a different names
(say, the script names minus the <code>.pl</code> extensions)
to preserve the original versions.</li><br>
<li class="content_text">Now, you can drag a header file or folder of header files
on each droplet in turn, and the files will be processed in place.</li><br></ul>
<div class="notebox"><span class="content_text"><b>Note: </b>Some
advanced features, including automatic linking, man page output,
and XML output will not work in Mac OS 9 because these require <code>libxml2</code>,
which is only available for UNIX-based and UNIX-like systems.</span></div>
