Thanks for advice on where and when to get it.
I did get a copy last night after being off-line for quite a while (3
days) due to assorted problems including connection details that defeated
my modem config.
Having got back on with a better config and even a new 0845 number
(it's new to me!), I tried SMALLNET.EXE and it works a treat.

It fetched off a couple of my local home pages (though motd said they
were down) and a .ZIP which unpacked straight out of the download.
I was surprised how quick this latter came down.

I remembered somewhere in this group that it was meant to be able to
take a list of url's to get in a batch yet someone recently under
this thread was asking if this could be included.

I tried  "http @htm.lst"  having first produced a short text of 3
url's to get, and it just did them.
The omition I made was not to include a "file=..." suffix so I got
asked if I wanted to overwrite index.htm from the second item onwards.
I had a second shot with a text like:-

        www.blah.dii.blah/ file=b1.htm
        www.blah.dii.blah/other.html file=b2.htm
        www.me.and.you/ file=b3.htm
etc...
which got the lot without the least hiccup.
I even included one of the actual lines above to see if it choked, it
just said "unknown host www.blah.dii.blah" and carried on with the
next, it didn't even bother wasting disc space by saving the error in
the specified file. This surprised me a bit as even FTP tends to
leave abandoned droppings about the place.

Someone else in this thread said it was a great peice of work,...
and it is, many thanks and much appreciation.


All I need suggestions on now, are recommendations for a DOS utility
to strip down the HTML's to flat text, I already have a fairly
snail-paced HTMLCONV, other suggestions would be welcome.
Meanwhile, I look like getting quite good at HTML syntax with a view
to writing proper ones in my home pages.
