And this, of course, is exactly the problem. The files aren't readable
because the links still remain the way they were ie. Scrapbook.html became
SCRAPBO~1.HTM the browser looks for SCRAPBO~1.HTM (which of course isn't
there) and returns a 404 - or worse, images don't show - this being a
commemorative "Memories CD" rather important. :)

Point taken, aardvark, thanks! I do have access to a cranky old Mac and a
friend with a Mac CD burner so I *can* get around that - was hoping there
was a quicker solution as this Pro-bono effort has become the Pro-ject from
hell! ;)
