Folks,
My previous comment about Watson and System-3 was not correct. Watson
is not a web browser.

I dusted off some old code from Linz V4 and found that it still executes
on my Windows XP machine.
Linz has modules Web and HTTP which seem to execute but gives me a
access denied error.
I probably don't have the parameters configured correctly.

I'm attempting to translate Web and HTTP to Component Pascal but there
is quite a lot of code and
it is slow going. I tend to do a complete translation so that I can
understand what is being done and then at the
end realize that 95% of the translation was unnecessary and then extract
the core routines.

Don't hold your breath. There should be an easier way.

I have written a module "Updates" which is driven from a file with a
list of URLs that you edit.
Each of those web pages is then accessed (in theory) and compared
against previous modification
dates. You are then notified if any of them has changed (pops up a
window with web links to the
modified pages).
The missing routine is Updates.GetDate(url: ARRAY OF CHAR; VAR date:
Dates.Date).

-Doug
