You could use the http-get software that comes with UKA_PPP to
d/l the index page. Then the program can look for the bookmark title
in the loaded page and see if it compares. It can also look for
specific notes such as "404 file not found" or dead servers using
the Ping command before attempting to get the Index.
Actually, there are a couple of free ``Web Fetchers'' for dos, for example,
you given a URL on the command line and it downloads the page for you.
Unix lynx even has a mysterious ``crawl'' mode that may do something
similar.
My favorite of these (please do not hate me for it) is a windows 3.1
freeware program called WebWagon. It will recursively spider down a web
page and download all the related URLs, giving you a home page with links to
the
local pages. You can then look at each page quickly and see what you got.
The trouble with all these types of programs is you still have to look at
each page manually. There is no obvious way to have some find type program
examine the pages to see if the link is broken, changed, etc.
A decent program would tell you the status of each page directly
(e.g, broken link, changed URL, could not access page, etc.).
