Web Scraper (Lite) V1.5 for Windows 95/NT
-----------------------------------------

Web Scraper is foremost a utility for scouring web sites and
performing automated batch file downloads of JPG and GIF image
files. The batch download also works with AVI, MOV, WAV, ZIP, PDF,
MPG, JPEG, GZ, ARJ, EXE and TXT files.

Web Scraper enables users to surf the web and automatically
convert site HTML code page information into separate windows
containing other URL Links and a complete listing of all files
available for downloading from the respective link. Why wait
for fancy buttons, images, background screens, ads, banners,
and other stuff to download when you can cut directly to the
chase. Access what you were looking for: JPGs and GIFs that
you can batch download by the dozen instead of one at a time.

Web Scraper automatically adjusts to navigating and downloading
files from absolute or relative URLs.
