Hi,
A website is being upgraded from an existing flat file structure. This website is very large and has lots of content which is being updated by various users using various tools including Dreamweaver.
The site is being completely overhauled and re-implemented in Drupal. I've built a nice new design up using a fusion theme and it has no nodes. The front page contains links to all the same site content as the old site.
The problem is if this site is now made live then none of the links will work.
I.e. Before the change the page www.example.com/old_dw_content.htm would work - after switching to the new site www.example.com/old_dw_content.htm will return page not found.
One answer could be to simply merge all the files from both sites together - and hope there are no file/directory conflicts (which could be resolved one-by-one). Apparently, if a file actually exists under a Drupal directory structure then it will be served up and Drupal won't try to interpret it.
Or another answer I'm favouring is to pull down the front page from the new Drupal site using wget and create a single HTML file which could be used to replace the existing front page.
Any thoughts/ideas gratefully received.

Answering myself
Looks like:
wget -pHEKk http://www.example.com/index.php
will do the trick - i.e. a nice neat copy of the front page with all associated files is a couple of subdirecotries.
