I'll second what Howard  Pasternak says about LinkBot. I, too, am using an old
version of the software since I can't afford the enterprise version and the
1,000 link limit is ridiculous.  I have complained to the Watchfire people that
I don't need/wouldn't use all the bells and whistles of the enterprise version
-- to no avail.

I am copying them on this e-mail and recommend that other WEB4LIB members voice
their opinions also.  Seems like they could license a library version sans 1,000
link limit.

BTW, I looked at several shareware products and none had very good
functionality. I am willing to pay, but not thousands.
