Hi All
Here is the response from the other list about web crawl utilities. I
have not checked anything out. I mean to, but Jamal is a VERY solid

Personally, in response to all the people who suggested Google, I can
easily understand wanting to have new items delivered proactively
without my having to initiate anything.

The best, free, web site downloader I found for Windows is from this web
site:
HTTrack Website Copier - Offline Browser -
http://httrack.com/
This web site has inexpensive, commercial web search tools:
Kryloff Technologies develops software to find, search, summarize and
manage information -

Hope this helps,
Jamal
