Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Are these flat pages, or are they served from a database/template
system?

If the latter, it can't be too hard to identify them.

If you want to expire/archive them, *then* it gets fun, as you then also
have to keep track of incoming links...

Cheers
Martin

I assume that the platform that agent would be running upon would be Windows
NT? If so, look into AT commands. You would just have AT call your ASP script
every X seconds/minutes/hours/whatever. Then, you can do anything with the ASP
script that you can do in ASP. But, if you're running it frequently, make sure
you balance things out with stored procs, etc.
