I would like a complete copy of the G4FGQ site. There is still much I
can learn from Reg.

I believe we have run the HTTRACK site over bandwidth already. I am
afraid if we all try to download a copy from Reg's site we will over
run it as well. I can also pass it along or place it up as a down load
on my site.

I will miss Reg.

I hope it's not true about Reg. That would be a huge loss. Perhaps
somebody will archive his website.

Hi Jim,

The announcement came from his account, and his computer.

I've archived his site, but for others who wish to do the same, the
best tool for that purpose can be found at:
http://www.httrack.com

This is a website harvesting robot that will replicate an entire
website into the directory of your choice (changing links so that you
can browse it on your system).

Richard, I've just reviewed the url above, and found that I don't know how to
use it to download Reg's web page. I see that you've already downloaded it, so
could I download it from your copy?

Walt, W2DU

Hi Walt,

The paths are tied intimately to my file system hierarchy (which is
pretty deep). Rather, I will give you a walk-thru. In spite of the
apparent complexity (it is a technician's tool), it is quite simple to
use with only two or three particulars to satisfy:
1. As directed on the front page, press the NEXT button;
2. On the next page for Project Name, enter Reg Edwards G4FGQ;
3. Below that (skip the category), click the ellipses button to open
a storage path and select an existing folder the website will be
stored here in a folder named Reg Edwards G4FGQ;
4. Press the NEXT button at the bottom;
5. leave the ACTION selection at "Download web site(s)";
6. past Reggie's top level page,
http://www.btinternet.com/~g4fgq.regp, into the Web Addresses text
box;
7. Press the NEXT button at the bottom;
8. At the next page, Press the FINISH button at the bottom.

This will start the robots harvesting with a view of them on a new
page that shows each robot in its own thread - about half a dozen of
them running simultaneously. Depending on the load at the server, the
entire process should take 5 minutes or so at T1 speeds. The total
download is 4.33MB.

The robot activity screen will disappear at the end of the harvesting.

I can zip up a copy (sorry Reg) and mail it for those who want a copy
that is located at the drive root (I did this down load again to
confirm the steps described above).
