[thelist] Site Mapping Software - any suggestions?

[Simon at Sentient Technologies]

I think this may have gotten buried in a 
different thread because I'd used a reply 
when I began the message quoted below.

If anyone can suggest site mapping software 
that runs on the Mac OS, something that will 
create a map of an already existing site, 
please post a reply or send me a note off-list 
if you prefer.

Thanks!

Simon
