Web Whacker "legality"

[George Bynum <gbynum@CROSSCO.COM>]

FWIW, The ForeFront Group, who sell WebWhacker, still have it on
their WWW site in demo and purchase versions for Mac, Win3.1x, and
for Win95.

I'd suggest anyone contemplating using it contact them.  They have an
email listed, support@ffg.com.  There are 800 and conventional phone
numbers as well.

The download and purchase URL is:
http://www.ffg.com/whacker/

FWIW again, a little research has shown that one should get
permission to "whack" sites; many non-commercial say yes, some say
no, MOST have been reported as not answering the emailed questions.

I have seen several reports of users sending a follow up to those who
don't answer something like:

   Our non-profit organization requested permission to use your
   site's information on (date) and received no reply.  We are
   putting it into use unless and until we are asked to remove it.
   Only the communications are affected; ALL information is
   unaltered.  THANKS!  This will, in its small part, improve the
   response of the Internet for all.

I am the (techy type) husband of a Media Specialist, and have no
affiliation with any company mentioned.
