================
== The program  ==
================

MoveSite helps you to convert a website from Acorn format to a PC
format. This should help you to test your code with different  PC
browsers. The program converts the extensions html to HTM and 
jpeg to JPG. It also forces all letters to upper case.  Any filename 
that would be longer than seven letters without extension is 
shortened, so be careful.

Use is straight forward. Install the program in the usual way and 
open the main window.  A second window will open and prompt you
to drop an output directory into it. Do so. All PC conversions will
be written into this new directory.

Now open your web site directory, select all files and drag the them
onto the main window. The program counts your files and sets up
the directory structure in the output directory. No conversion has
taken place yet.

Click on 'Convert' and step back in amazement. All your files will
be copied across into the output directory in PC file format. All files
in other directories will also be copied. The program will not copy
directories in side directories.

While the conversion presess takes place the program will also count
all HTML files. Once the conversion is finishes you can now press
the 'Convert HTML' button. This will change all references inside
HTML files to the new filenames.

Limitations
=========

Your site should be only one directory deep. My own site contains all 
HTML files in the root directory and all graphics inside subdirectories. 
These directories must not contain other directories.

The program will shorten file names when it copies them to the output
directory, it will not shorten file references when it hacks your HTML
files. It is the best policy to have your file names so short that they will
not need to be changed.

All your Acorn files must be correctly filetyped.

General
=======
The program is still under development.
