<p>Setauket, NY, June 1999 - Limit Point Software is proud to announce<br />
the public beta for the ambidextrous Blue Crab 1.0 for Mac OS -- a<br />
high-performance crawler for intranet and the internet.</p>
<p>Blue Crab crawls in two modes... 1) Download Mode. Mirror remote<br />
sites or volumes, downloading sites to disk. 2) Bookmark Mode. Crawl<br />
a remote site, creating a hierarchical bookmarks library which is<br />
indexable and searchable by LPS' Boolean Search engine. Crawl from<br />
any Mac on your TCP/IP network independent of, or as a complement to<br />
a web server.</p>
<p>Crawling sessions schedules are highly configurable. Page<br />
Controller's drag-and-drop interface makes session config a snap --<br />
custom configs may be saved, edited and applied to individual crawls.<br />
Blue Crab can even crawl multiple sites simultaneously, schedule<br />
unattended content delivery and control directory and path depths.</p>
<p>Specify exactly what you want, exclude what you don't. A rich<br />
three-level filter system allows you to filter precisely what Blue<br />
Crab crawls, grabs and saves by date, suffix, file name, size and<br />
path containment for starters. And the Crab is a relentless spy --<br />
stalking remote sites, updating grabbed files or bookmarks.</p>
<p>DOWNLOAD MODE:<br />
Download complete web sites for speedy offline browsing. The Crab can<br />
grab HTML, images, PDFs, audio, video and more -- flawlessly<br />
preserving directory structure, whether you're grabbing a handful of<br />
files or a complete web site. Blue Crab is a natural for educational<br />
institutions and other organizations where internet access is limited<br />
to a library or resource center -- web content can be grabbed for<br />
local viewing in classrooms or corporate presentations. The Crab will<br />
also save files to a remote FTP server.</p>
<p>BOOKMARK MODE:<br />
Expand your site by indexing related web content. The Crab will<br />
generate a clickable HTML Site Map and when paired with Boolean<br />
Search, offers feature-rich indexing and search of any remote site.<br />
The Bookmarks Window makes it easy to schedule, configure and<br />
maintain complete collections of bookmarks.<br />
BONUSES:<br />
Blue Crab's built-in search engine is a valuable network research<br />
tool, performing fast content searches on mounted WAN volumes -- no<br />
indexing required. Blue Crab also ships with a copy of our Active<br />
List plug-in, which will display an easy-to-navigate collapsible and<br />
expandable "tree view" of your HTML Site Map and includes any file<br />
type -- HTML, images, PDF and more.</p>
<p>Blue Crab's true ambidexterity means you can crawl solely for site<br />
download purposes or crawl to add remote indexing and search<br />
functionality to Boolean Search, or both! (Boolean Search 2.2b<br />
required to index and search remote sites.)</p>
<p>Final pricing is expected to be less than $100. Stay tuned for<br />
introductory pricing on Blue Crab and bundle pricing on the complete<br />
Limit Point Search Tools Suite. Details and fully functioning 1.05b<br />
