[NTLUG:Discuss] copying web documents

[Walter Johnston]

Is this a one-time event or an example of a general want?  Do
you want a utility or do you want to do some programming?

I have written Python code in the past to grab web pages - it is
pretty quick.  I have been intending to extend the code for the
kind of issue you bring up, but have not gotten around to doing
it yet.  Collaboration could be a good way to get me moving on
this again.
