After opening the address "cimbar. org" in a browser and saving it, it will save the Cimbar Encoder.html and two JS files. I don't seem to be able to use it offline? Is this normal?

Yeah, that's normal. The site is wasm, so you'd need not just 3 files but the rest of the wasm tarball. You might also need to host it on a running server (e.g. python -m http.server) so the js->wasm load works correctly. There are easier ways:

  • If you want a web page to download, I'd recommend the cimbar_js.html file, which is the same as the cimbar.org site but with everything smashed into a single html file. For most desktop browsers this should do what you want.

  • For offline encoding in general, you can also use the browser's "progressive web app" functionality -- on chrome-like browsers there should be an "install..." in the address bar, and on safari there's... something equivalent.
