Hello Frank

I wanted to try out that version but I have some problems getting it working.
First it's important to mention which version of nice you need to run it because it closely depends on the compiler.
When running it I get:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: nice\lang\<.html (The filename, directory
name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:176)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:70)
        at java.io.FileWriter.<init>(FileWriter.java:46)
        at nice.tools.doc.fun.write(~/nicedoc/src/./nice/tools/doc:99)
        at nice.tools.doc.dispatch.write(~/nicedoc/src/./nice/tools/doc)

For feedback the wiki page is a good place: http://nice.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Dev/NiceDoc
It's possible to upload files to the wiki. Could you give an overview of ideas and questions you have about the design/output there?

It's useful to provide the source code too since you're new to Nice and it allows others to contribute.
You could ask Daniel for cvs access or put it in zip on the wiki page.
