But very simple (for the "Doze morons") and clearly possible using any of the past several generations of the Opera browser. There are sites out there to parse content for PDA users, and somebody with the wit and will could do similar for Arachne. In the meantime, within reason, I'll save pages with images (all to one directory, which is how Opera does it), zip them up and mail them to anyone who sends an email with subject: [A-list] Jake, save this webpage and the URLs in the message body. Please do NOT send any request via the A-list! When I first got online I did alot of hand editing of saved pages to get close to the printer-friendly versions available these days. I assumed that the developers of the major browsers had given little thought to saving content for offline use because American users weren't faced with monthly phone-bills of $75 or more for metered access. My own pages make minimal use of image content, but always have the images and style sheet (if linked) placed in the same directory, for easy saving. I include a human-readable link to the online version, so it can be found from a printed copy. As I no longer upload regularly from Win3.1x I've dropped 8.3 filenames, but try to use LFNs which truncate somewhat usefully for photo collections e.g.: wm01-640x480-2002-06-windmill-from-south-east.jpg The 8.3 user is left with an indication of the subject, its position in the sequence, and its screen size. Cheers, Jake
