| I've got an ASP driven web site that I would like to be able to put onto CD. The group I'm a part of is about to release our first CD, and I want to take two or three tracks and create a demo disc. Also on the CD, I'd like to have parts of our site in a browsable format. I know that ASP only works if you have IIS installed and running, but is there a way to do this without recreating all the pages I want to put on the CD? Also, is there some way to automatically launch the browser when the CD is put in a computer? Ideally, I'd like for the CD to be mixed mode. That way, they can play the tracks on a stereo, or listen to them on a computer while browsing the demo site I've set up for them. Thanks in advance for the help or advice. |

For the demo site on CD, I'd get some kind of program to generate an HTML form of the website to put on cd (somebody autta know where to find a program to do this, I know they're out there) - and distribute it that way
It'd cause for less hassle. |

| That works for me. As long as I don't have to continually update two sets of code. If there's a way to automatically generate the HTML version of a site from the ASP I'll take that. Do you know where I could start looking for something to do this? |

I havn't used this myself, but on the following web page scroll until your find "HTMLtoRTF Converter 2.3". On the third page is "HTMLtoRTF Converter Pro 1.0" which will do images also.
http://www.topshareware.com/008001-1-1.htm
That says it will convert asp/html to RTF, which could serve well on a cd, as RTF is somewhat widely supported.
Then on the next page is "Mergemill 3.8.3" which says it will "Generate web pages from databases and publish them on web or CD-ROM."
Then also while googling I found this microsoft link - I havnt read it in depth, but it looks like it might be interesting.

| laser, I actually hadn't thought of that. I may use it as a last resort, but it would be nice to not have to go page by page and resave all of the files. stim, thanks for the links. I'll check them out and see if they can do what I need. If not, they may at least give me a jumping off point. |

Fiar enough, it would be a bother if you had every page ... maybe something like Kapere could help, then you would have to rename the asp files to html so they would default to a browser open.
Sorry, I don't have the download link for Kapere, but should be easy in Google. |
