Are there tools available that will natively do as you ask? I don't know because that is outside my area of expertise. But I do see that Htdig might be able to help you.
As a native solution, it would not appear to fit your needs. Htdig indexes a Web server according to parameters that you establish then, in response to search queries, searches the index built in the first step and displays results by using a template and criteria that you can modify. Note that the display is usually accomplished through CGI. Having said that, you might use a workaround solution. You could, for example, use Htdig to build an index, generate results from CGI, and save results from every inquiry as static pages. If you do this, you would need to modify the path in the results to fit the paths on your CD-ROM. With a good knowledge of your OS and thorough reading of Htdig's documentation, creating a fully indexed CD-ROM should be fairly simple. -- Duke Hillard Chris Raymond wrote: > To Whom It May Concern, > > > > I'm not entirely sure if I'm addressing this to the correct e-mail > but.....
