Re: funny thing about "docs.info.apple.com"

[bieling@terra.es (Jorge Chamorro Bieling)]

I did a spreadsheet with a column that wrote for me the links:

<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=1";
 target="_blank">1</a>

from 1 to 10000, pasted them in the body of a local .html file, then
gave it to sitesucker. It's doing its job right now... :-)

Thanks,
Jorge.
