-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- WgetRexx is an ARexx script to invoke Wget from your favourite Amiga
- WWW browser. It is designed in a way that you can easily maintain a
- copy of the interesting parts of the WWW on your local hard drive.
-
- This allows you to browse them without having to start your network,
- without having to worry if documents are still in the cache of the
- browser, without having to figure out the cryptic name of a certain
- document in your cache directory and without having to deal with
- slow, overloaded or/and unstable connections.
-
- FEATURES
-
- If configured properly, WgetRexx allows you to download pages with
- images or whole web sites with one mouse click.
-
- NEW FEATURES
-
- - Now there is only one script for all browsers
- - Improvements in the manual especially concerning support for AWeb
- - Improved continuing of interrupted site copying
-
- SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
-
- You need an open network connection, either Miami or AmiTCP, and one
- of the following WWW browsers running when invoking the script:
-
- - AWeb
- - IBrowse
-
- Other browsers are not supported yet because they currently lack
- sufficient ARexx-capabilities (like Voyager).
-
- You will also require some additional libraries to be installed. All
- of them can be obtained from Aminet:
-
- - util/libs/ReqToolsUsr.lha
- - util/rexx/rexxdossupport.lha
- - util/libs/ixemul-#?.lha
-
- Of course you will require Wget. It is part of the Geek Gadgets
- project and can also be obtained from Aminet:
-
- - dev/gg/wget-bin.lha
- - dev/gg/wget-src.lha
-
- Refer to the manual for more details.
