Yes, I knew it was an old version (and three years is not that much
for mature software, is it?).  As it turns out, I always followed the
announcements, but so far WWWOFFLE works absolutely wonderfully for
what I need.  The improvements simply never mattered enough for me to
make me want to re-install WWWOFFLE on two different computers,
especially as these installations need to be match (as I am browsing
on a computer without any internet connection, carrying files back and
forth via memory sticks or, initially, even 3.5" floppies).

which is essentially the same as what I mentioned in my e-mail, except
that `xargs -i` is replaced by `wwwoffle -n 1`.

Thanks again for your work, as well as for your reply -

Albert.
