A few months ago, Gunner (I think) mentioned a program he used to
capture & archive web sites. I downloaded it & used it, but a recent
hard drive meltdown has resulted in the loss of the program, and an
ongoing brain meltdown has resulted in the loss of the memory of what
the program was called.

So, anybody care to enlighten me about that?

TIA,
Joe

Depending on just what you're doing, and just what OS you're using....
I scoop websites with 'wget', and I maintain a website using
'sitecopy'. These are both under Linux; I would expect MacOS and other
Unix variants to have them; no idea about Windows.

OK, I should have mentioned that I'm running Windoze. I'm currently
trying Ubuntu as a secondary in a dual-boot, but I can't get my
printer to work with it.

What kind of printer is that?

Wget is a decent archiver. But be careful as to what websites you
archive, and try to not archive anything that looks like it is
database driven or generated by scripts.

You can get into a infinite downloading loop and waste a lot of
website owner's bandwidth for no good reason.

I have such a site algebra.com, and always had problems with people
trying to download it, not realizing how huge it is.

It's a Brother HL-1440 (IIRC) laser printer. I went through a process
described on a Ubuntu forum, and the system tells me the printer is
installed. When I go to print, the printer warms up, and the Data LED
lights up, but nothing prints, and no paper is output, either.

Anyway, I'm trying to find the Win program that Gunner mentioned a few
months ago (or equivalent). I haven't had any luck yet with a GGroups
search. I guess I need to try harder.

If I get my printer to work with Linux, I'll try Wget.

Thanks, that's the one! I liked it pretty well, but you have to be
careful how deeply you go. Some sites had front end pages that linked
to too much other stuff, while the articles I was interested in were
nested kinda deep. Anyway, it's the only one I have used.

There is a Windows version of wget, I have it on this machine; it's
available from he
http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ (same location as the Linux version, just
look for the Win32 binaries).

Actually..Im doing pretty good. The ol bod is functioning better than
it has in a number of years. I couldnt have sex...one of my meds was
inhibiting erection..but Friday I discussed it with the doctor...he
seemed to think it was a calcium blocker thats only a "maybe helpful"
and I stopped taking it as an experiment. Last night I nailed the ol
lady for a half hour before she passed out. Still not back to full
size..but it was big enough to do the job.

Im a bit concerned about having some black toenails though. Both right
and left feet ...the big toes have black smudges under the nails. Doctor
says not to worry about them..but keep an eye on them.

Still occasionally need to take a nap after a hard day...which can last
for 3 hours. But...shrug...Im not stressing over it. Its not like Ive
got a lot of work these days.....

Orthodox Christianity, Aka Greek Orthodoxy; although I'm in the
Antiochian Jurisdiction (That's where St Peter was Bishop before he
went to Rome.) I'm another Episcopalian refuge: too liturgical to go
Evangelical, to Protestant to go Rome, and too Christian to stay with
the Episcopalians.
It has been an interesting five - six years.
