Hi - This may be of interest to you...

PRESS RELEASE

Internet Software Innovation announcement
=========================================

Money Spider Ltd. has developed a world first for the internet.

The product is a software tool so useful - everybody will wonder
how they managed without it.

The name of the product is:

'Arachnid - the Personal WWW Robot for Windows'.

Arachnid is used in conjunction with your existing internet connection,
and effectively gathers information from targeted servers / URLs.

What Arachnid does is to collect HTML, GIFs, AVIs, WAV files automatically
and save them locally to disk. For high speed collection of HTML, all other
file options can be disabled. Current benchmarks using a 28,800 bps modem
have given results as startling as 20 average HTML pages per minute.

Your online time is drastically reduced with Arachnid, as all the HTML
etc. can be viewed offline at your leisure.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other powerful features allow things like:

Mailing lists to be constructed as Arachnid can optionally save
all mailto: addresses found.

JAVA, Internet Explorer, VRML sites can be detected by Arachnid and
lists made of the pages as detected.

Automatic emailing on the fly - as email addresses are encountered, pre-
defined email could be sent.

The user interface for Arachnid is very 'friendly' with tab dialogue
construction and an inbuilt URL database.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A downloadable pre-release 16-bit version will be available by the end
of the week.
