Do you have web pages you check frequently? WebChecker
will help you!
WebChecker is a utility program designed to help you
manage web pages you check frequently. It will check to see
if a web page has been modified, and will notify you - or
even automatically launch your favorite web browser - when
it detects any changes.
WebChecker requires System 7 or later, and a 68020-based
Macintosh or better. WebChecker comes in both 68K and
PowerPC versions. WebChecker requires a direct or dial-in
internet connection. It supports Open Transport or "classic"
Macintosh TCP/IP.
WebChecker is not supported as a "Classic" app under OS X.
WebChecker supports Netscape Navigator or Microsoft
Internet Explorer. It does not support Apple's CyberDog,
because it does not implement the Mosaic AppleEvent
suite.
NOTE: WebChecker
cannot access the internet through a proxy server or similar
internet firewall.
