- Description
- ===========
-
- Sslurp! can retrieve Web pages from a HTTP (WWW) server. It can be configured
- to follow all hyperlinks on the page that lead to other pages on the same
- server. Images on the pages can be retrieved as well. All pages are stored on
- disk and can be viewed later using your web browser.
-
- Sslurp! can make use of a proxy HTTP server, speeding up the whole procedure.
- Sslurp! requires at least one HPFS partition!
-
- Sslurp! is Freeware, i.e. you can use and distribute it for free. However,
- you may not sell or rent it! Sslurp! is still copyrighted software.
-
-
- How to install
- ==============
-
- Installation is simple. First, unpack the ZIP file (hey, you already did it!).
- Second, copy the files to some directory. Start the program. Select
- "Setup/Options" from the menu to configure the software. Press F1 to get help.
-
- If you upgrade from a beta version and you like to keep your settings, you
- must rename SPIDER.INI or WSUCK.INI to SSLURP.INI!
-
-
- Where to find the latest version
- ================================
-
- New versions are uploaded to these locations:
-

-
- To-Do list
- ==========
