Anand,
Now things are clearer. From what I understand you want
to download some site with "wget -c -r URL" type of command,
and then want to have the whole thing in a printable/
archiveable format, perhaps even without seeing on a browser.
Since wget will save in web-page format in recursive
directories "htmldoc" is perhaps the tool you are looking for
.... It has two input options of "book" and "web-page" ...
Give it a try it will do all three things for you:
a) Make a single html page out of small ones OR
b) Make a single postscript document OR
c) Make a PDF out of the input
Images support for jpg, gif, and png only. Other formats
need to be converted to jpg, and the links within the pages
need to be modified manually ...
Creavats: Some HTML-4 syntax not supported (given in the
docs). Otherwise very handy ...
Also available for Win-9x.
