Quick info:
---------------------------
  Searches, saves, replicates HTTP URLs.
  FORMAT:  WEBDOG url [-k keyword] [-f filespec] [-d depth] [-print]
                      [-download] [-create] [-confine]

Yet another network utility
---------------------------
  Everybody needed just one more, right?  This little guy will search, save,
and replicate specified files at a particular URL.  Lets suppose bob's site has thumbnails
for 75 gorgeous...cars... and you are too lazy to shift click 75 times.  Well,
just run Webdog and it will get all the images bob has on his page and save
them for you.  What's better - it doesn't save them all at once so they take
10 years to download at 0.00001k/sec.

How to use it:
-------------------
FORMAT:
  WEBDOG url [-k keyword] [-f filespec] [-d depth] [-print]
             [-download] [-create] [-confine] [-stat]

OPTIONS:
  url          Location to begin search.  Applies to web urls not FTP, Gopher, etc.
  -k keyword   Keyword to search for.  Can be a word or a case insensitive regular expression.
  -f filespec  Partial filename to match.  Applies to searches and file saving. Ex: .jpg or *
  -d depth     Maximum depth limit for searches, default is 0 to search just one page.
  -print       Display matches
  -download    Downlad matches
  -create      Create the directory structure associated with the web page
  -confine     Confine the search to subnets of the site.  IE. Do not search far off links.
  -stat        Display statistical info

EXAMPLES:
  To save Bob's main page:
    WEBDOG http://www.bob.com

  To save Bob's kool car pictures:
    WEBDOG http://www.bob.com/carpictures -f jpg -download

  To search Bob's entire site for information about Volkswagon Beetles
    WEBDOG http://www.bob.com -k beetle -print

  To save all pictures on Bob's site:
    WEBDOG http://www.bob.com -f jpg -download -confine -d 5

  To save Bob's entire site:
    WEBDOG http://www.bob.com -create -d 5 -confine

  To find bad links on Bob's site:
    WEBDOG www.bob.com -d 5 -confine -print -stat
  

Known bugs/Missing features:
----------------------------
  1. FTP support would be good.
  2. Someone should actually test this.
  3. Infinite recursion problem (it will redundtantly check the same page many times)
     This will make it MUCH faster.  Due before v 1.0 final release.
