The probably easiest way to make an ASCII file (with no PCL
control codes inside) viewable from the web is to copy it into
a directory that is accessible by the web server and name it
with a .txt extension (which causes the web server to deliver
it to the browser with MIME type text/plain)...

The next level of complexity would be adding a little bit of
HTML heading and footing to the file and cover the "meat and
potatoes" part in <PRE> and </PRE> tags. However, one should
also make sure to find-and-replace "&" by &amp;" and "<" by
"&lt;" and ">" by "&gt;" if they can occur in the text body.

The above step can be automated with EDITOR.PUB.SYS in batch.
