****************************************************** *** LT Net Grabber (tm) 1.00 - Automated Web Retriever ****************************************************** (C) 1997 Lateral Technologies All rights reserved. * LT Net Grabber is a trademark of Lateral Technologies -------- Overview -------- Have you ever wished you could stack up a pile of Internet links and tell your computer to go and grab those documents (or images) while you did something more useful with your time? Well, now you can! LT Net Grabber is a shareware program which let's you automatically download web server contents off the net for your later review by simply placing all the Internet Shortcuts you want fetched into one directory and pressing a button. --------------------- Your Time is Valuable --------------------- When it comes to surfing the net, your time is valuable. You know it. We know it. BUT sometimes it seems like your computer doesn't. That's why we created LT Net Grabber. As the volume of content out on the net increases and the response time of bogged down web servers decreases, reviewing information on the net can be very time consuming. With LT Net Grabber, you no longer have to wait and babysit your browser while pages or images load from the web. ----------------- Surf with a Smile ----------------- Web surfing should not require you to sit around waiting while an image or page off the web trickles down to your browser. With LT Net Grabber you can surf with a smile. Consider LT Net Grabber to be your personal assistant with one clear purpose - to go and fetch documents and images off the web while you do other things. ------------- Easy as 1-2-3 ------------- To put LT Net Grabber to work for you, all you have to do is create a directory on your system to put Internet Shortcuts to the items you want to grab off the web into. You can create the shortcuts from scratch in Win/95 or drag them right off your browser. So as you surf the net, if you come across a page of links to other interesting pages and/or images (thumbnails), you can just drag those links into your shortcut directory and move along. Once you've loaded up your shortcut directory with some items to retrieve, you let LT Net Grabber loose and stand back while LT Net Grabber does the rest. ------------------- Responsible Surfing ------------------- Although LT Net Grabber does allow you to easily scoop items off the net, just as your PC lets you copy diskettes, it does not circumvent any responsibilities you may have regarding the copyrights of the information you are retrieving. Please be careful to observe and treat the information you choose to retrieve with the appropriate respect and care regarding any proprietary nature - that part is entirely up to you. ------------------- System Requirements ------------------- To run this product, you need the following minimal system: * 386SX (or higher) * 4 MB RAM * Hard drive with at least 1 meg of free space * VGA resolution screen (or better) * Windows 95 * Internet IP connection ------------------------- Installation Instructions ------------------------- To keep transfer time to a minimum, this product has been 'zipped up'. You will need to create a directory on your hard drive (eg. 'C:\TEMP\') and 'unzip' the file(s) you have downloaded into that directory using a program such as WINZIP or PKUNZIP. Once you have unzipped the files, you must then run the SETUP.EXE program. After prompting you on where to install the program on your system, the setup program will prepare all of the program files in that directory. It is generally a good idea to 'unzip' the files in one directory and install (with SETUP.EXE) to another directory. This way you can erase the first temporary directory after you have run the setup program. ------------------------ To Register This Product ------------------------ The unregistered version of this product is designed to give you a reasonable sense of what LT Net Grabber does.
