- it should, at least i think it should, be possible once you have come
- across a piece of the web that you're interested in to save it off
- to the side (in source form) so that you can look at it again or
- add it to your own hoard of stuff.
-
- i went to the 'jargon' section of the web, as served by
- iicm.tu-graz.ac.at, to look something up. (I wanted to see whether
- the hacker's dictionary had a definition for 'firmware', since
- there's a harangue going on about it in comp.infosystems. i located
- a nice entry on '-ware' which looked pretty interesting and went
- to save that to a file (using the command 'source >
- $HOME/archives/ware.html' from the line mode browser).
-
- to my slight surprise and dismay, when I went to visit the document
- again (using the command 'www ~/archives/ware.html') all of the cross
- reference links were just gone. looking around a little bit I think
- that a simple sed command like
- sed -e 's/HREF=A/HREF=http://iicm.tu-graz.ac.at:80\/A/g'
- or thereabouts would put things right.
-
- should making a copy of a piece of the web simply be a verbatim
- copy of the source, or should it try to make relative links absolute?
