Saving webpages for offline publication

Hello all,

I am looking for a method or tool to save a selected set of web pages
to a file system, allowing me to publish this set for offline viewing
by some audience. Imagine publi-cation on USB sticks.

The behaviour could be very much like the offline favorites of internet
explorer, ex-cept that this only works on the system the favorites
where created. The list of cashed website is found in the folder
"Offline Web Pages" of the Windows folder, but there are no HTML
files
there, only short-cuts.

I tried an evaluation copy of eNotebook
(http://www.enotebook-home.com/), but this will stored the downloaded
files in a .enb file, not in a set of html files. The enb file can be
read and looks like all html together, but I suppose it is not a good
idea to go cutting and pasting this content. I do not want to supply a
program with the publica-tion.

What I would like to have, is a tool that allows me to download a
webpage and linked pages, up to a certain recursion depth. The pages
should be saved as html pages in a structure corresponding to the
original structure. Images, css and the like should be included. URL's
should be modified accordingly. Subsequent synchronization should be
started with one click. Links should point to other files if these
pages were also downloaded. Ideally, other links should be removed.

As said before, it should be possible to copy the whole folder to a USB
stick. I would add an index page that would the starting point of all
saved pages.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you don't get many replies here, it is because this newsgroup is
obsolete and was supposed to be removed Dec 1st.

You would do better at either:

IE6 newsgroup.
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser

IE7 newsgroup: 
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general
