Disclaimer

This software is Copyright © 1996 by François Pottier, all rights reserved. I have made a great effort to ensure that it is bug free, but there is no such thing as perfect sofware. I make no warranty whatsoever, either implied or express, as to its correct functioning. You, the user, assume all responsibility for any damage caused, directly or indirectly, by its use.

Distribution

You may copy and give away this software freely, as long as the package is distributed as a whole, in its original form. You may include it on CD-ROMs or in other software collections, provided that acquiring the collection doesn't remove the user's obligation to register the software.

The above paragraph applies only to public releases of the software. Beta releases cannot be distributed; you can use them only if you obtained them directly from me. Beta releases can be distinguished after the "b" in their version number (such as 1.0b1).

Known problems

Do you find Big Brother's Behavior to Be Bizarre, Bewildering, Baffling or simply Beyond Buggy? Feel free to report problems! I welcome feedback from registered and unregistered users. Here is my contact information.

Planned enhancements

Here is the current list, in no particular order. Feel free to add new suggestions or to cast a vote for an existing idea! Here is my contact information.

Ability to fetch files (recursively) from a server
Automatically fix links to pages which have moved to a new location
Printing support
Handle ftp: URLs
Allow re-checking invalid links
Implement a search function
Allow specifying how long to wait before a link is considered broken
Be smart and check each link at most once
Better handling of CGI scripts
Support for fragment identifiers (e.g. my-page.html#here)
Show full path rather than file name in results window
Tighter integration with URL Manager Pro
Support for Netscape's client pull

Please keep in mind that implementing these ideas will take time... You won't find them all in the next release!

Do you like Big Brother?

Big Brother would like to rule the world. You can help him by displaying his logo on your HTML pages, linking it to my home page and adding a short explanatory sentence. For example, look at what I have done at the bottom of the main documentation page. Big Brother's logo comes in tiny, small and huge sizes. The tiny one weighs only 1 kilobyte!

Thanks very much for your support!
