> Browsing through the archive, I noticed that the subject of web snapshot
> 
> programs has not come up on Web4Lib for a while. We have tried
> Webwhacker, but we are not really satisfied with it because it can only
> grab certain pages (that don't have CGI searches) and seems to hang up a
> 
> lot.
> 
> What programs have other librarians found are fast, easy to use, and
> appropriate for the following?:
> 
> 1) Grabbing web pages in their entirety while on-line
> 2) Displaying them off-line in a point-and-click method
> 3) Allow grabbing of pages that are the result of CGI searches (for
> example, let's me grab the page where I type in my search, and then also
> 
> grabs the results for later display).
> 
> I know there are ways of using grabbed images together with PowerPoint,
> but what we are most interested in is a program that would simulate the
> use of Netscape off-line.
> 
> Thanks in advance for any specific suggestions!
