Many thanks to the previous two posters for their helpful suggestions. But unix-genius-lugnut-bon vivant Chris Lindsey has mirrored the site using 'wget' (http://wget.sunsite.dk/). In mere minutes Chris was able to mirror the site and make a zipfile maintaining directory structures accessible to ye olde humble CW webmaster. Now, I'll go through the text and try and remove all of the geocities URL and server garbage. Not the easiest thing to do, but not the hardest either given that my fav text editor Textpad can edit multiple files at a go. So great, soonish we shall have a proper CW archive. Given these new circumstances, I may just put up the old site and keep adding to it rather than creat a new site altogether. I can't decide yet... I might put new entries into a "latest news" type link, if nothing else. A thousand thanks go out to Chris Lindsey for the excellent help in grabbing the existing site. -- Hop-Frog

(...) I've had good luck using IE to save pages for me, it saves the page and all the embedded images in a subdirectory. OK for small sites but for a site with hundreds of pages, probably a non starter. (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
