Added: (Thu May 10 2001)
Pressbox (Press Release) -
Jerry Miller, president of Help Systems Publications (foxtastic.com/hspost),
has created a number of web spiders since 1998. A spider is a software
application which surfs the Internet automatically, collecting and/or posting
information. One particularly useful and powerful example of this is the
screening of thousands of stocks by price history. Recent results appear at

"How-to" information is now available to other C programmers through the HSP book
"Designing Spiders and Robots in C/C++ (and Perl) for UNIX/Solaris/Linux/Posix
and Windows 95/98/NT" by Gerald A. Miller, Ph.D. Details may be obtained at
