    Well technicaly a web producer should create a site map which lists all the pages and their functions. These are more often and not never published though.

    How about these bits of software, basically offline browsers that strip entire websites to your hard disk so you can browse them later.

    http://www.internet-soft.com/extractor.htm - limited trial
    http://www.httrack.com/ - GPL software

    Dunno if they'll do the trick but you could give it a go. All the best in getting it all sorted out. I'll keep my thinking hat on and see if I can come up with any more suggestions.

    Edit:

    Just found these other bits of software that might also be helpful

    Unless the document you're after is linked from one of the other pages on the site, software won't find it - basically, these programs follow every link from the home page downwards, downloading everything. So, worth a try, but it may not work.

    A handy and not that well-known feature of google is the "allinurl" directive which gives you all the links that google has for a particular site. In the search window type:

    allinurl:<site name>

    eg:

    allinurl:www.zerogain.com

    It will usually just show you the first link and then you have to expand the list with "show all results from <site name>".

    It won't help you though hippy - I just tried it on the site you're after and it came up with only one link.

    Michael.

    What a completely crap web site.

    What was the original URL that doesn't work?
