| Saildocs automated document retrieval service |
Saildocs is an Internet service for the bandwidth-impaired. Saildocs offers text-based document retrieval and subscription services for offshore sailors, and others. There are currently two services offered, a document retrieval service which will return documents from the Internet or from Saildoc files, and a subscription service which will send Internet documents (for example weather reports) at scheduled intervals.
Saildocs can either retreive documents from its own library, internet documents which are in its index (primarily text weather information), web pages, or grib data (specialized weather data files). To receive an information file and the index of available reports send a message:
To: query@saildocs.com, Subject: (anything)
send info
send index
Saildocs can also fetch documents from the web and convert them to plain text.
The Saildocs is an automated service which is offered without charge on an as-is basis, without any warranty or assurances that it will work, be useful, or that the information delivered will be correct. |
