- !MultFetch v.0.02 © 1994 Robert Orwin
- ================= ===================
-
- A multiple fetcher for !ArcWeb.
-
- This is a simple fetcher for use with !ArcWeb.
-
- It doesn't:
-
- - reside on the iconbar.
- - have any menus or windows (no great loss, IMHO).
-
- It does:
-
- + quit when ArcWeb quits.
- + local fetches, no more need to load !ArcWebLcl
-
- Unfortunately it doesn't implement the directory browser functionality
- that is a part of !ArcWebLcl. If you want to traverse your directory
- trees use the filer, ArcWeb seems a painful way to do it!
-
- .oOo.
-
-
- To install:
- -----------
-
- Copy the !MultFetch application *inside* !ArcWeb.
-
- Add a the following line to your !ArcWeb.!Run file just *before* the line
- stating "WimpSlot -min 384k -max 384k"
-
- Filer_Run <ArcWeb$Dir>.!HTMLFetch
-
- Now every time you run !ArcWeb, my http/local fetcher will be loaded too.
-
- .oOo.
-
-
- The Future:
- -----------
-
- I'd like to move the whole lot into a module task, avoiding the problem on
- pre-RiscPC machines needing 32K to run what amounts to a 13K program.
-
- Incoporate a fetcher for gopher:// links to startup Anthony Frost's
- !Gopher application, and perhaps even ftp and telnet links too.
-

-
- Version History:
- ----------------
-
- 0.01 : Basic Fetcher coded, handles http:// and riscos: URLs
-
- 0.02 : Now checks for the presence of KA9Q before accepting any requests
- for URLs beginning "http://".
- Now accepts local requests of the form "local://..." as well as
- "riscos://...".
