This invention facilitates the relocation of a hypertext document and objects
referenced by hypertext items. The Universal Resource Locators (URLs) in a hypertext
document are identified and assessed. A modifiable URL is a URL that is associated
with an object that has been relocated, or with an object that will be relocated
when the hypertext document is relocated. Each modifiable URL in the document is
modified to reflect the relocation of each object, and each object that has not
yet been relocated is relocated. If any relocated object is another hypertext document,
this other document is similarly processed to identify and update each modifiable
URL, each object requiring relocation is relocated, and each relocated hypertext
document is subsequently similarly processed.
