That's ok for pages that are all in the same directory, both on
the web and on your disk.  Not so good when there's a tree, unless
you set up the tree in advance on your own disk and get the files
into their corresponding locations.

I think that something like the crude ka9q/tw http fetch is
useful for grabbing things like .zip files, or maybe a home
page or an index or two, but it's no substitute for true
web browsing.  To achieve full web browsing offline I think
needs a proxy server on your own machine.  That can then
roll the pellets for ka9q to fire, and have sufficient
intelligence to fake the directory structure and multiple
sites without needing to clutter your disk with an immense
tree.

alt.gay.ka9q/dnos?  I'm not sure what you mean by 'recall' the
http command.  Maybe that's why it's not in that version!
Sorry, I've not had time to look at dnos yet.

Perhaps I subconsciously excluded C/serve (hate hate hate).  :-)
Don't you just hate an outfit that allows its users to access
the Internet, but encourages use of its own 'forums' and doesn't
make them available to non-Compuserve users?

Seriously though, I hope to find out what's wrong, and/or make
the fetcher work thru www.cache-demon.

Comes with source, doesn't it?  Simple matter of grep two.fingers *.c
and then you know which line to change?
