Tads keep getting bigger.  And I think our cat's just brought in
a 'smigeon' so that's for tonight's casserole.

Well, don't feel you have to implement the 'depth=n' option right away,
provided you can code up the 'grab-whole-site' feature.

And while we're exploring FantasyLand, should the site be copied
into a directory tree, with link names trimmed to 8.3, or shall
we toss around some ideas of how the heck it could all be stuffed
into a NetScape cache?

I haven't a clue about details of the cache, except that I'd like
to shoot the guy who decided to call .html AND .gif files both .moz.
If something were feasible with the cache, I guess I'd opt for ka9q
creating a single http-batch.txt file while online, and then
processing it with another program offline to avoid memory
constraints.

[ducks to avoid barrage of whinges about sudden NetScape-centric
nature of discussion]

OK, maybe there are better, less browser-specific ways of doing
this.  Any ideas?

Query for HTML gurus: I want to add a line into incoming html
files, something like <! This file came from www.xyz and was
called lengthy.name.html>.  Is it ok to put that right at
the start, even before <html>?  If not, can it go before
<head> or where?
