Using the Dreamweaver "Clean up HTML"
will only take out the Microsfot bloated
HTML tags, but not correct the webbots
usage and checksum routines which only
work on Frontpage servers. Be sure to upgrade
to newest Frontpage server for various
implementations of Frontpage extensions.
You'll notice some ISP offer FrontPage
98 and 2000 services. It'll boil down to you
having to update your content and pages
with any changes to server. Use of archival
and research information will need to
take this in consideration when adopting
FrontPage.
