Nope, that's not it.  I've actually found what I was after, by the boring
method of sticking lots of different search terms into Google, one after the
other, until one of them came up with a copy of the manual for the package
I'm after.

Just for fun (and if anyone's interested), I won't say what it *is* - the
offer of a pint is still open if anyone finds it.  I'll post the name in a
day or two.  Anyone for a web searching contest?

As a clue - it exists as <packagename>.sourceforge.net and
www.<packagename>.com, which are different pages.  The author has set up a
company around it - selling binaries, manuals and support.  It's also listed
on Freshmeat...

Well, I actually though of it for work - I'm still not quite used to having
an always-on connection at home.  Once I started thinking about it, I
realised that yes, it would be perfect for the iPAQ, although I think the
Sitescooper approach is probably better...

Cheers
Richard
