[WEB4LIB] Re: screen capture help

[Rachel Singer Gordon]

You can use something like WebWhacker (
http://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/whacker/whacker.html )or other
3rd-party products to capture entire sites including the whole
directory structure, all images, etc.. whereas if you use something
like IE's built-in "save page" feature you'd have to do one page at a
time. If you capture a whole site then you can browse offline as if
you were looking at the site 'live.'
