Problem:

I'm looking after a web site (myjourney.ca) which WAS hosted on site, using a
program (Article Manager) where all pages had the "shtml" extension.
Many of these pages are still indexed in various search engines.
So far, during February I have had well over a 1000 hits in almost 400 sessions
to these now "non-existing" pages, resulting in potential browsers getting a
"Not Found" message (The requested URL /mainpage.shtml was not found on this
server.).

We changed to a different system, (the domain name remains the same) and all
pages now have the "html" extension.

Question: Is there a way whereby I can create a page with an "shtml" extension,
using a wild card character such as * (*.shtml" for example) , and install it
on the current site so that those who follow any outdated link with an "shtml"
extension would go to that page?

Thanks for any help and suggestions!
