Sitescooper: Read news sites in iSilo or DOC format	(version 2.2.8)

Sitescooper automatically retrieves the stories from several news websites,
trims off extraneous HTML, and converts them into formats you can read on your
Palm computing device for later reading on-the-move. It maintains a cache, and
will avoid stories you've already read. It can handle 1-page sites, 1-page with
diffing, 2-level and 3-level sites, and it's very easy to add a new site to its
list. Even if you don't have a Palm handheld, it's still handy for simple
website-to-text conversion. 

Note: sitescooper requires Perl on your hotsync machine.

The documentation, including installation instructions, is available in HTML
form in the "doc" subdirectory. If you're reading this with a web browser,
click <a href=doc/index.html>here</a> (or <a href=index.html>here</a> if you've
installed using the RPM).

It's also available online at the following URL:
