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.

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).

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.
