Spider is a web crawler written by Arnold V. Lesikar,
recently updated to version 1.0b4.4. It's polite because
it's very careful to follow the rules a webmaster lays down
to allow or prevent indexing and link following on
specific pages or entire sites. The spider requires arn's TEK.
The Tag
Extraction Kit from Arnold V. Lesikar, hos been
updated to version 2.1a5. This version fixes the function
getAbsoluteUrl( ). TEK is a set of Frontier scripts
which make it easy for you to do "regex type things"
to HTML without creating complicated regular expressions.
