Dotan:
What kind of documents and how to do want to present them?
PHP can generate html code and place any text file within in it --
it's simple a matter of arranging things the way you want it to look.
For example, you might want to review:
http://www.weberdev.com/get_example-1233.html
In fact, you can do that without php by using a shtml and includes.
But, more specifically, I need to know more about what documents you
have and you what you want to do with them.

Thanks for the example, Tedd. That script would work if I already had
the files in HTML format.
I have about two hundred .doc files that I have archived over the
years. Now that I'm rid of windows I would still like to use them. I
figure that the easiest way to still view the documents, and make them
available for others in my faculty, would be to publish them on
dotancohen.com . However, I'd need to convert them from .doc format to
HTML before I can put them on the web.
I know that I can just drag it all over to a winbox at the university
and convert them one-by-one in Word, but I'd rather not do that to 200
individual files!
