[Air-l] archiving websites for later analysis

[Jillana Enteen]

Frank,

I use adobe acrobat. If you have the writing feature, not the free reading
feature, you can save webpages exactly as they are, including their
directories, and you can decide exactly how many links deep. Endnote also
provides this feature, with detailed cataloging available so you can recall
them later.
