Welcome to asp2php.  Using this program is quite simple:

asp2php myfile.asp

This will basically copy myfile.asp into a file called
myfile.php3.  It will rename links that have .asp in
them to .php3.  It will also rename links that have .htm
in them to .html.  This is a fix for what I call the W2K
Problem.  The entire Internet picks a standard html extension
of .html and yet some sites still use .htm. 

Or use the GTK - ASP2PHP front end by following these steps:

(1) Either type in the directory that contains the ASP files
    or Click on the "Select ASP Dir" button and click on the
    directory you want (you cannot select a single file)

(2) Pick a PHP target dir in the same way.  GTK ASP2PHP will
    automatically create any dirs in the path that do not
    exist

(3) Click on Start Convert and watch it go :)

Also: Becareful...  GTK ASP2PHP recurses directories which
      means if your target PHP dir is in your ASP source
      dir, it could go into infinite recursion.

Note: GTK ASP2PHP is basically just a web site copier. It
      Will copy your entire web site to a new directory.
      At the same time it will convert all asp files to php
      with the asp2php (which must be in your path or it
      will give a couldn't convert error).  At the same time
      you can also use asp2php to turn your gifs into pngs.

      The unipiss program is there to copy your standard
      html files and change img tags to point to pngs instead
      of gifs.  Why would you want to do this?  Because some
      company holds a patent on LZW compression which is used
      in GIFs.. which means you have to pay $5,000 per web
      site to use GIFs.  Nice huh?

This program is given with no warranty.  Use at your own
risk.
