Scratching around in my multiple mailbox folders, I found these mesages
on the topic. Hopefully there is some still useful info there.

There was a message posted today for a script viewer that is probably what
you guys are looking for. It can be found here:
http://www.angorasoftware.com/scriptviewer.html
This windows application is designed to show a parsed script file without
the need of a web server. This may be useful for CD-ROM distribution,
Stand-Alone materials, and other uses. The application starts the php
executable with a file parameter, showing the result in a HTML format.
Hope this helps.

Yowza!
Thanks Phil.
I went to the site above and found out that they also have a new site at
www.httrack.com, and that the thing is also available for Linux and
Solaris.
I downloaded and simply launched it (as usual, you have your
three-screens-load of switches) and it correctly parsed and saved the
files in a safe format (index.html and then indexXXXX.html, where XXXX
is an alphanumberic combo).
Works great: anybody looking out for a quick way to move some PHP site
to a CDRom should go take a look.
Thanks again
