No ;)
It was just more convenient to do it this way (totaly some 300 files - .htm
and .gif). After packing it with RAR it could fit on a floppy (as opposed
to download 60M or so of .ps files and printing them :-)

469 files of what extension? If that was all the files then the number
should be divided by two (and you're then under 256).

You mean this (not all that complex IMHO):
struct HTTPrecord
{
char URL[URLSIZE]; // Uniform Resource Locator
int x; // coordinates where the document was last displayed
long y; //
long size; // size in bytes
char knowsize; // logical - size is valid
char mime[STRINGSIZE];// mime type
char locname[80]; // full filename (after conversion to TXT,HTM,GIF,BMP)
char rawname[80]; // full filename (before conversion)
int handle; // file handle
long lastseen; // last seen time
char postflag; // it is result of operation post
} cacheitem;

I could do that, preferly using my acopy.exe so it does it automatic -
pressing Q to download all links on a given page is so convienient. But
since the filenames where LFN I first need a LFN aware (when writing)
program (reading via WWWMAN I already have - still beta however). This
WWWMAN isn't made by me, a friend of mine did it and then his motherboard
stopped working (probably not related <G>) - and there seems to be a
shortage currently of Celeron CPUs (he's buying new CPU and RAM as well).
Is anyone even interested in this WWWMAN version? It currently only works
under W95 - LFNDOS has some problem with it and I haven't tried with
Calderas LFNB3.
