                                   Description

SpiderMan can retrieve Web pages from a HTTP (WWW) server. It can be configured
to follow all hyperlinks on the page that lead to other pages on the same
server. Images on the pages can be retrieved as well. All pages are stored on
disk and can be viewed later using your web browser.

SpiderMan can make use of a proxy HTTP server, speeding up the whole procedure.
SpiderMan requires at least one HPFS partition!


                                 How to install

Installation is simple. First, unpack the ZIP file (hey, you already did it!).
Second, copy the files to some directory. Start the program. Select
"Setup/Options" from the menu to configure the software. Press F1 to get help.


                                      Beta!

As you might have guessed from the version number, this is a beta version. In
other words, it might not be perfect (which software is perfect anyway!?).
It also runs only for a limited time. If this version already timed out, watch
out for a newer version.
