The WebGrabber is an application that facilitates the downloading of web pages into your computer for local browsing. Such an application is known as a site mirroring software or a Web site copier (the last term is the most appropriate). It is also different from known similar products.
The last point is the most important one and makes this product unique. It does not copy all web pages of a Web site from its root directory or from one of its branches. It copies only the pages that are interesting to you and that you want to keep locally and make their hyperlinks work locally also. For example, it can copy the information related to a specific product of a company and its contact information, plus some pages of similar competitive products and some product reviews from other magazine web sites; all under one topic root. With the help of WebGrabber, a student can collect published information related to a subject and integrate these pages in such a way that their hyperlinks work locally between the imported pages. Saving specified web pages and their embedded pictures with the help of your Web browser would result in their hyperlinks working only through the Internet, also, if you have many pages to import, this method is inconvenient. Personally, I use WebGrabber for importing specific web pages of a Web site. If you want to know how that works, see the Tutorial.
