The program sources may be freely downloaded, used, modified, and re-distributed. I now have little time to work on this project, so I would like to encourage interested people to bring their own improvements to it. If enough people are interested, maybe we can try and achieve some group effort. In short, Big Brother allows you to check the consistency of a whole Web site. That is, it walks the site recursively and looks for broken links. It is implemented as a command-line tool, which makes it very convenient for regular, automated checks, as well as for use as a component in a larger project. The source code may currently be found at http://pauillac.inria.fr/~fpottier/bb.html.en Enjoy! -- François Pottier Francois.Pottier@inria.fr http://pauillac.inria.fr/~fpottier/
