- dumpTRUCK! READ ME!
- --------------------------------------------------------
- dumpTRUCK! 1.5.3 Release Date 09/08/99
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- Thank you for taking dumpTRUCK! out for a test drive.
-
- Once you have decoded and unstuffed the dumpTRUCK! folder,
- you are ready to go (no "installation" is needed). You can put
- the folder anywhere on your hard drive, but DO NOT move the
- program out of its folder. If you need easier access to the
- program, make an alias.
-
- dumpTRUCK! does not put any files in the system folder,
- so un-installing is as easy as trashing the folder.
-
- dumpTRUCK! job files can be stored and accessed from any
- location on the hard drive and you can double-click them
- to start the program.
-
- Please read the Known Issues below.
-
- If you continue to use dumpTRUCK!,
- please pay the $15 registration fee.
-

- HOW TO USE:
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Job is an internal description for the batch you are
- creating.
-
- 2. Driver is the email address that is the contact for
- the batch of URLs you are sending.
-
- 3. Cargo is the list of URLs (one per line, must start with
- "http://" and end with a return). You can add them one at a
- time, or you can copy and paste a SimpleText (or ascii)
- text list. You should really not put more than 25 URLs in a job.
-
- 4. Schedule is the list of search engines that dumpTRUCK
- will send the "cargo" to. This release includes 14
- major search engines to submit to. The "edit", "load"
- and "restore" buttons all relate to an ability to add,
- modify and use different schedule lists.
-
- 5. START is the key. Once you have a job ready to go and
- you are connected to the internet and online, click
- start and dumpTRUCK will do its thing.
-
- More usage tips are available in the help file.
-
- I hope you find dumpTRUCK! a valuable tool.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
- List of Known Issues:
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- -Some of the engine response pages will contain broken
- graphics. This is normal, as you are viewing pages contained
- on your hard drive, that have no access to relative graphic
- links.
-
- -MSN Web Search may complain after the first URL submitted
- in a batch that you can only submit one URL per site per day.
-
- -PlanetSearch's response will be a copy of their homepage.
- This is normal. If you were to add URLs manually you would
- get the same response.
-
- -Finally; sometimes engines will respond in strange ways;
- i.e; you may get "garbage" on the response page. This is not
- always because of a problem with dumpTRUCK! or the engine
- file you are using. The search engines are just computers
- (run by people) and they sometimes have problems, just like
- the rest of us. Most times if you try again later the search
- engine will respond the way it should.
