Hi everyone,
I'm planning to close my vB forum down soon, but want to be able to save a browsable copy of it for posterity, as you do. I've figured out how to do the hard part - I'm going unleash SiteSucker on the vB archive and get it to download static, HTML versions of the threads. These can be navigated simply by opening the index.html page and clicking through the links there. However, what I'd also like to do is package the whole set into a single file of an undecided format, partly to make the presentation more professional looking, partly because it would be easier to distribute and partly because it's such a cool thing to do for its own sake.
So my question is, what's the best OSX software/format to use to get the job done? I know some offline browsers can produce a single exe file for this purpose, though this would obviously only be any use to Windows users. CHM files are another option - I think this is another Windows only solution (out of the box anyway - I've seen Mac CHM readers) isn't it? There's also the trusty cross-platform PDF.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be very welcome. I'm particularly interested in freeware apps seeing as I'll only be doing this task once.
