Flat File to HTML
Is there a Unix product or command that can convert a flat file to an hTML document?

I don't think so, how do you expect a program to covert your thoughts to HTML code ? I mean, it would be impossible for a program to decide where to put HTML tags, besides the obvious <br> and <nbsp>

You can make a quick-and-dirty HTML document containing preformatted text from your text file, e.g.:
Code:
{
  print "<html><head><title>My Title Here<title></head><body><pre>"
  cat file.txt
  print "</pre></body></html>"
} > file.html
