no, actually i didn’t try that…
and, yes i was speaking of the links at the top of the page…
so, if they don’t work while off line then is not ‘perfect’ as i had
claimed…

you may be right…frankly, i don’t want to unhook from the web to
find out…if you say FF is too dumb to make those changes, i believe
you…
i know there was an OS/2 program which would fetch htm/html code and
automatically rework the links to be off-line readable…
and, (i’m having flash backs…have you and i discussed this before) i
think wget can be set with command line switches to the do the same
thing…
BUT, i just look at the source and i very much doubt that wget has
been ‘taught’ how to rewire the links in that perverted code (save as
any page and look in the new directory named Book1_files (or however
you elect to name the .htm
what a mess…
i suspect my Indian doctor will come back and complain that it didn’t
work so well at home (off-line), after all…
