Hm, the idea is not bad, however I've been already using such a program.
UKA_PPP contains also HTGET and a utility to view the downloaded file
while online.
This one I changed first to HLIST then to Bobcat (but you can use any HTML
viewer like Arachne, or Browse - a tiny viewer belonging to the YAN
package). The real problem is that as far as I see none of these methods
can be used as a "site grabber".

I try to solve this problem for myself in the way I often use ACCMAIL
methods just to get all the links of a basic URL. I know this is not the
perfect solution, but as long as nobody writes a site grabber utility
for DOS it is surely the least expensive.
BTW, has anybody tried GETHTTP from Open World Navigator (OWN) already?
Somehow I believe it could work recursively.
