Author's Description:
Introduction
As you probably quickly realized when you first tried to save a web page, all that is downloaded to your hard drive is the html document itself, not the graphics or other documents that the page is linked to. Web Retriever allows you to copy the complete web page, graphics, links, and all.
Using Web Retriever
Currently, Web Retriever requires NetScape in order to operate-and as such, is slightly hamstrung without direct net access from within the app itself, the next version will probably incorporate some java code to do this. Using Web Retriever is very simple . When you find a web page you want to save, switch to Web Retriever and hit the Fetch! button. The directory structure of the remote site will replicated on your hard drive and an alias to the page you grabbed will be put in the download folder.
