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).

Richard,thanks for the walk-thru outline, but none of the pages that come up
with the url above have a 'next' button. Apparently, a different page comes up
when you access the url. Any suggestions?

Walt

The problem may be due to too quickly writing up the instructions, All
instructions are specific to HTTRACK operations, note ammendments:

Hi Walt,

The url was for cut and paste into HTTRACK's text window. This is for
the robots to use as their top level address to drill-down into the
website. No browsers need be open to perform this.

Richard, we just returned from eating out, the reason for the delay in
continuing the attempt to download Reg's web page. Anyway, using the url you
gave I cannot find any page to enter Reg's web address for downloading, also no
place for entering a Project Name. Are you getting a different screen than I
with that url? What am I doing wrong?

Richard, the various screens that come up using the url you gave are totally
unfriendly to a user trying to enter anything to start a download. Like other
programs, they say 'you can do this...,etc,' but they allow no entry. Am I using
an incorrect url?

Hi Walt,

I thought you had downloaded the utility HTTRACK, but it sounds like
you were trying to use their website to do the job. No, you first
have to get the tool to go and get Reggie's work:

Go to the download page at:
http://www.httrack.com/page/2/en/index.html
in the column marked "Choose file to download" select the first item
below that heading called "httrack-3.40-2.exe". Run this installer,
start the program, AND THEN follow my instructions already provided.

Hi Walt,

Some or most of the popular web browsers have a feature where you can
use or view the web page offline. Look around in the menu of your web
browser to see if you can find such a feature and turn it on. The
browser will then store the contents of the web page on your computer
so you can view it without going online.

Good luck OM and 73,

Thanks, Jim, with Richard C's help I finally downloaded all of Reg's great works
from his web site.

Reg's daughter, Jean, has posted her approval of our keeping her Dad's memory
alive by continuing to use his web-page material.

I, too, wish to express my sadness at hearing of Reg's passing.
Although I had only a single discussion with him, it was one of the more
illuminating ones I've had.


Walt, can you advise me of the size of Reg's works that you
downloaded?

Well done, sir.

What I know about Reg is he was one of those rare people with an
extrordinary innate instinct for physical phenomena. I knew one other
person with that level of understanding of things natural, and he won
the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1995.

For me it was always a little bit of a strange feeling when Reg would
contribute to a discussion on this newsgroup in which I was
participating, knowing that among other things, he was a part of the
greatest technological achievement of its time. An accomplishment
which by any measure is still monumental. And that was when he was
just getting started. We should all hope to leave such a wealth of
achievement.
