Hi all,

Just to let everyone know that I've been putting a fair bit of effort,
in over the last week or so, on trying to maximise the number of
knowledgebase articles applying to NT4 that get mention on the NT4Ref site.

As you know, support for this OS is now starting to seriously dry up, so
I'd suggest you get in and make sure you have all the resources you need
locally to continue, since most likely it will all soon be a memory on
the 'net :-(

The side-effect of me 'running' the Microsoft Knowledgebase search
engine through every conceivable query I could come up with, is the
uncovering of quite a few more obscure NT4 bugs listed by Microsoft. The
'Known Bugs and Limitations' page at http://nt4ref.zcm.com.au/bugs.htm
has been re-written to accommodate this new information.

As always, comments, corrections and additions are welcome. Email to
contact me is on the front page of the site: http://nt4ref.zcm.com.au

And an invaluable site http://nt4ref.zcm.com.au/ is
for NT 4 users; but the problem is since i am on
dialup; i save All the links on that page
to disk so that i may search them for info
when i am not connected..

is there any way to automagically download All the
links to disk without having to right click
on each one
and choose Save as ... ??

if there were ftp access; i would use the
NT 4 ftp.exe ability to use a text script
that had a "get filename" for each link

For basically 'grabbing' a whole mass of pages I use a tool like HTTrack
- find it here: http://www.httrack.com/

By correctly configuring it (YES, I know, can take a bit to learn all of
it's features - but worth it) you could set it up to retrieve all of
NT4Ref AND all external links that it references, and build a copy of
the whole lot on your local machine.

The actual NT Knowledgebase articles from Microsoft are a long term
problem. They are likely to disappear off the Microsoft servers in the
not too distant future :-( I've snapshotted all the pages as .pdf files
here for future ready reference.

I'd offer to send the archive of .pdf documents to you, but it currently
consists of about 1400 documents and nearly 40MB in size, so utterly
impractical for a dial-up user to deal with !

May be time to consider broadband there NT4-Ever :-)

You wouldn't happen to know of something similar to HTTrack that does FTP?

nt4-ever might have said:


I find wget invaluable on several platforms. I think there might be a
GUI wrapper for Win32 but I'm not sure.

Ummm.... off the top of my head - no :-(

I'm sure such a tool exists however. I've just never had the need, so
I've never seriously searched :-)
