 GD> I am looking for a program that will validate all URL references

If you want a DOS Batch program, one could write a simple C program that
would extract URLs from an HTM file into a ?.BAT file of the form:

    HTGET -v -oLINKnnnn.HTM {url}

1) Using Internet Rex or other Dialer, dial up ISP 2) Install/Run packet
Driver PPPD 3) Copy base Wattcp.Cfg (i.e. copy wattcp0.cfg wattcp.cfg) 4)
Run MKWATCFG.COM to append dynamic DNS to wattcp.cfg from IP-UP.BAT 5) Run
Batch file created above (re-direct STDERR for a Log) 6) Run Termin.Com to
terminate Packet Driver

I do this daily, using a fixed Batch file, and it works great!

A Base/Skeleton WATTCP.CFG, MKWATCFG.COM and HTGET102.EXE can be Freq'd
from here via Fido or E-Mail :)
