It is possible using Texis Web script to add things to
a Webinator db in a custom manner without using "gw".
The rudimentary script below allows you to add individual
pages to an existing Webinator II database from a web form.
If you're interested in this kind of thing, also see the
sections of the Texis Webscript Manual http://www.thunderstone.com/vortexman/
that describe: FETCH, SUBMIT, READ, URLTEXT, URLLINKS, and URLCP .
1: Place the script in the htdocs/webinator directory under the name addit .
2: Edit the <db> directory name on line 3 of the script to point at your db.
3: Point your browser at http://mysite/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/addit/
<---------CUT HERE AND SAVE AS htdocs/webinator/addit ------------------>
<script language=vortex>
<db= /usr2/pub/httpd/htdocs/tmp>
<!------------- Get the page and insert it into the db ---------------->
<a name=doit>
<look>
<theform>
<small>
Remember to update your indexes with "gw -index" when you're done.

<hr>
<fetch $theurl> <!-- You should really check for errors -->
<rex ">><title>\P=!</title>+" $ret>
<$title=$ret>

<sql "insert into html
