Shorts Description

Shorts was created to solve a problem with sharing HTML Web pages and images on CD.That problem is that Windows CDs only allow 64 characters per filename but Windows allows 255 characters for names on your hard drive. So, if you make a bunch of Web pages (like for example the kind Thumbs makes for you) and you are using filenames longer than 64 characters (for example "Me and my sister on the Colorado River when we were at the Grand Canyon in Summer 2000.jpg") then, you go to put those files on a CD, your CD burning software will probably warn you that the name is too long (over 64 characters) and that it is going to automatically rename them to something shorter if you continue.So, you continue because you want to burn a CD but then you test the CD and your HTML Web pages have references to the old long names but the CD has shorter names so your Web pages can no longer find the images and everything is broken.So, to fix that problem I wrote Shorts. After you've made your Web Pages you run Shorts and tell it where your pages are and it will copy them all to a new folder you specify, rename any files longer than you specify and try to fix all your HTML and Javascript so that it. Then you burn that NEW folder to a CD and things *should* hopefully be copasetic.
