Hi Dominic,

If I were to have to do this I would write a Perl script that would
basically do a search and replace exchanging the new domain for the old
one. I am not a fan of Front Page at all but I would be surprised if
there didn't exist some tool within to handle this. This is also a very
simple task in the Unix world using standard system utilities, or a
one-line command in "vi". So if you don't see any way of getting this
done and can get me the HTML documents I can do this for you if you
like. If you have access to vi (visual interface to ed, an editor) it
can be done as follows:

:1,$s/skyphoto.homestead.com/astrosurf.com\/aurores/g


There may exist ready made utilities that can do this as well. Perhaps a
search on www.sourceforge.com would turn something up.

Regards

Bill
