Subject: Download of complete Web Page
I'm trying to get an entire site, the "Yale Web Style Guide" at:
http://info.med.yale.edu/caim/manual/contents.html
I want to get all the links (only 1 level deep, only the pages that
are linked from the contents page), images, etc. I've tried several
freeware web downloaders but they all, IMO, don't work well. I
remember someone mentioning a web site that will get a web site, its
links, and images and then zips it, and e-mail me it. Does anyone know
the address?

Has anyone thought were does the need for vacation come from?
Where does fatigue come from?
When there is something REALLY important to do, something you think that
is very important to you and to others, you give up thinking about how
tired you might be and DO that thing.
I believe that the need for vacation appears only when the thing you do
becomes less important or useless, or at least you feel it that way.
When you do something useful, you are energized by that job, and don't
need a vacation. People who often desire vacations don't like their jobs
or do their jobs with half of hearth, which means they feel, somewhere
in their hearts, that they should try something new. Unknowing what else
to try, they just think they need to stop for a while from doing what
they're doing now, taking a time to search the new thing. But if they
don't realize that need, they will only go for a trip and come back with
the same need for something new, and this will happen again, until they
finally find their REAL place, as Gerry Boyd seems to have found it.
Peace & Love to you all

JAR - Java Applet aRchive file
Netscape browsers don't support getResource() method, so you must use
getResourceAsStream() method. Here there is an example which
extracts an image
from a JAR file:
InputStream is;
ByteArrayOutputStream baos;
Image img1;
is =
this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/imagenes/ingresos_y_pagos.gif");
if (is == null)
System.out.println("No resource found");
baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try
{
int c;
while((c = is.read()) >= 0)
baos.write(c);
img1 = getToolkit().createImage(baos.toByteArray());
}
catch(IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
The Java Archive Tool part of the Java Development Kit.
I found a shareware product that has a demo download. However, you must
fill out a form:
http://www.sfs-software.com/iavazip/download_iavazip.html
Found some more at C|Net's shareware site:

About the only thing that works at this site after 4 months of supposed
fixes following a server crash, is a plain search and signup for an
account by E-mail methods. The stored queries don't work, modifications
don't work, and out of the 3 E-mail address for help and manuals, the
only one that works is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or at least it did
on 02Feb99). E-mail to all sorts of people at the site also goes
unanswered.
This site must be maintained by the worst people they can find. Half
the time the web search page doesn't work either!!! You are better of
using DejaNews as that site is always up and dependable.
I'm about ready to pitch all references to this crummy site and pretend
it doesn't exit.

Some time ago Gerry Boyd mentioned the below web page on this mailing

--[snipped from IBM Year 2000 site]-----
Year 2000 Evaluation Tool
IBM has provided a software tool that quickly evaluates PC hardware
one system at a time, to assess how the hardware clock and a PC BIOS
will respond to the Year 2000 transition. If you need instructions on
how to download a file and then execute the program on your system,
review the [27]Download Instructions. Downloading the tool will create
a self-booting diskette. **The IBM PC Year 2000 Evaluation Tool will
function ONLY by booting to the diskette that is made.

You can download JAR (which also knows how to unjar files) from:
http://www.arjsoftware.com/files.htm
Unlike ARJ, JAR is not freeware, but there is a version that you can use
(I don't know what is it's limitations).

like a search engine?
Lycos has a brand new search engine specifically for MP3 files.
http://mp3.lycos.com/
>From the web page after stripping worthless HTML code, I have:
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/search" METHOD=GET>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=form VALUE=lycosnet>
Artist or song name:
<INPUT NAME=query VALUE="" SIZE=20>
</FORM>
So I can make a search string as follows:
send http://mp3.lycos.com/cgi-bin/search?form=lycosnet&query=[artist or
song]
For example, I searched (using www4mail) for the Doors, Light My Fire
like this:
get send http://mp3.lycos.com/cgi-bin/search?form=lycosnet\
&query=light+my+fire
I recieved, in part, back the following:
