These files are sitescooper scoops; sitescooper is a utility which downloads the contents of several popular news and opinion sites and converts them to formats suitable for reading on a Palm handheld, trimming off the stuff that won't fit on the screen, won't display properly, or is otherwise extraneous. See here for help on downloading and displaying these files.

Note: please note that the comics sites require a viewer which supports large images in IMG tags. Currently only Plucker and the registered version of iSilo supports this.
This is only a very small subset of the sites that sitescooper has built-in support for; many of the others are not represented here because of copyright restrictions, or limited resources on the updating server. The text in these files remains under the copyright of the respective site maintainers; these files are provided here as a free service to palmtop computer users. If you are the maintainer of a scooped site, and you don't want to see your content available here, please mail me; my address is available on this page.

from the Sitescooper download
area, as the file automatic.tar.gz. Go ahead -- make your own
scoops site!)
