Most JafSoft converters also come as console applications, for example h2acons is the console version of Detagger. When doing this you'll want to pass the console program the same policy file as you used in the Windows version, so as to get the same results. Unfortunately the existence of the /policy switch amongst the command line options confuses some people (understandably), leading to people trying a command of the sort
c:> h2acons *.HTML /policy=my_options.pol
but this is incorrect. It's is a common misunderstanding. The /policy switch is to *create* a policy file documenting options that have been set. This is less useful with Detagger than with some of my other utilities where there are a lot of analysis options. To supply a policy file, all you need do is add the filename to the command line. e.g.
c:> h2acons *.HTML my_options.pol
As long as the file has a .pol extension it will be recognised as being the policy file. You may need to supply a full path name for the policy file if it's in a different folder. If this path includes spaces, you'll need to put the whole name in double quotes Because of the confusion the /policy qualifier has caused in the past, it may be removed or renamed in future releases
