!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.
.oOo.
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://...".

Contact Points:
---------------
I can be contacted as rob@wong.demon.co.uk for the forseeable future,
this may be changing sometime soon (moving to the USA - probably!).

That's all folks!
