There is a similar functionality using NetHopper. This
reliable browser for the Newton (note, http 1.0
version only...no frames, tables or other "fancy" html
stuff allowed) has a pluging called NetHopper
Scheduler. I have a copy for download/install from my
site: http://newton.tek-ed.com...scroll almost down to
the bottom...
This little package allows you to setup a site and a
time frame for downloads. Then it stores the pages in
cache and allows you to view the pages at a later
date! I use it when I absolutly have nothing better to
do...like prior to when I wait to get my oil
changed... and it does everything as advertised.
Give it a try.
