Online car manuals!

[smithma7 at yahoo.com (Mike Smith)]

The only one that I know off (and have used, long ago, that is), and I'm sure there are others, is Web Snake by Anafee(? Anfee, can't remember exactly).  Just plug in the base URL, tell it how many dir's down you want to go, and which file types you want, and away it goes.  This is for Windoze, BTW, so don't know about other software for other platforms.

Toby, is there a way to "download" the whole site (specifically the
entire online manual section) with a script of some sort (or software
that I don't know about)? I think I remember hearing of a program that
could download an entire **cough** porn **cough** site... I've got a
high speed connection, but even still, there is a TON of info there, so
I don't know if this is even possible. Just a "that would be cool"
thought...
