exe in html

[aWebParson]

I have a cd i want to burn for some friends. I would like to put a Menu
style 1st page with some info and a couple of other links to some other
information on the cd. I would also like to put a link on that 1st Menu
Page that they see that would run a exe file that is on the cd when they
click on it.
Can someone give some help on hot to structure the hyperling, that is the
syntax?
I hae done quite a bit of Googling but to no real success.

The links on the page on the CD must be in relation to the files on the
CD (after they are burned on the CD).

Here's one way how to do what you want.

1. Create a folder on your PC and call ti CDTEMP.

2. copy all the files you want to burn to the CD into this temporary
folder. If you want folders and sub folders on the CD, organize the
contents into folders and sub folders. Also, copy the executables files
into CDTEMP.

3. With FP create a blank web page and save to the desktop (not the FP
web)as index.html. Then close frontage.

4. Move the the file index.html into the temporary folder.

5. With FP, edit index.html and add relative links to the files located
into the CDTEMP or files in its sub folders. The links in html view must
be in this format:

<a href="file.html">item</a>

<a href="folder/file.html">item</a>

<a href="file.exe">item</a>

After you are done with all the links, verify that they work and that
they open files within the CDTEMP tree.

The file index.html will be your menu when you view the page on the CD
rom or the temporary folder.

6. If you want to the CD Rom to start automatically when it's inserted
in the computer, create the related autorun files and save them into the
CDTEMP. See intstructions at:

8. Burn all the contents of CDTEMP (not the folder CDTEMP) into a Cd rom
