The idea would be to use a tool called Emscripten that compiles your C code into a kind of dense JavaScript code called WebAssembly plus an HTML page, that you can view in a browser. Is ivtt in C?
Sorry, yes, of course it's in C. I'll have a look at this later...
I had a look as well, but the "Hello World" example didn't answer any of the open questions:
- how to enter the command options
- any other way of specifying input/output files that are on the user's local environment

To compile ivtt.c as a C++ source on Windows with Microsoft Visual Studio (2019) I had to change a few things:
hash == 1;
-> it is probably meant to be: hash = 1;
char folname[] = " ";
-> the string is too short, it should be one character longer to allow folname[in_foli] = 0; when in_foli is 7.
int selpage, selloc;
-> uninitialized int used later, changed to: int selpage, selloc = 0;
char ctest[8] = "#=IVTFF ";
char dtest[8] = "#=VDBTF ";
-> changed to:
const char ctest[9] = "#=IVTFF ";
const char dtest[9] = "#=VDBTF ";
Also I had to add:
#pragma warning( disable : 4996 )
to allow "unsafe" C functions fopen, strcpy
Thanks for that!
I have created version 2.1 (without the #pragma) but I will have to test it before I can replace v2.0 on my web site.
It's taken a while, but this has now been done.
