What is Unmozify ?
Unmozify is a tool which enables you to view World Wide Web pages whileoffline, which stops you running up huge phone bills whether you’re trying tostudy a page of information, or just look at pictures…
When installed, any pages you view while online will be stored – text,sound files, picture files and video files – in a cache directory. The firsttime you look at these on the Web they will take the usual amount of time toappear onscreen, but as the program works in tandem with Netscape Navigator,when you view them next time, they will appear on the screen straight awaybecause they are stored on the hard drive.
As you click on the Unmozify Cache Manager icon, you’re presented withthree choices :
1. Cache ExplorerThis is the first step to take. This section will enable you to pick and choosewhich sites you want to view when offline, and as every site you’ve looked atwill be stored, you can also delete those which you don’t want to see again.
It is also possible to choose the age of the files you wish to look at. So,for example, if you only want to see all the pages you’ve viewed in the lastsix hours, the ability is only a few clicks away…
This section will also tell you the number of text files in the cache, aswell as the number of images, sound and video files.
Finally in this part, when you select ‘Uncache’, the cache will beprocessed ready for viewing the Offline Index.
Here is an example of the Cache Explorer :
As simple as it sounds, this section will take you into Netscape, present youwith a list of all the domains residing in the cache, and when you click onone of them, a list of all available pages to view will appear in the nextwindow. Then simply, click on the chosen page.
Of course, for any good Website, each page will have a number of links whichwill take you to another part of the site, and if you’ve looked at those pagestoo, then so can you do with this.
Each link will flash on and off, enabling you to move around as freely as ifyou were online.
3. Search Offline IndexNo explanation required really. Not sure where that file is? Just click on herefor the help you need.
Finally, a brief mention to the Setup function which generally sets itselfup, but if you want you can alter the directory locations of the NetscapeFAT (File Allocation Table), the Netscape program itself, the Netscape Historyfile, and the Offline Directory Path.
In all, this program is essential for anyone who uses the World Wide Web anddoesn’t want to waste money on long phone calls. It’s simple to use, just viewthe page in full when online, then go offline and study it in more detail.
