Check out these:
!Scanmod by Paul Vigay www.vigay.com/software (v1.11f, 2008)
-- discussed in Archive 20:10 PD column, 21:8 news
!Rover by Martin Avison www.avisoft.force9.co.uk/Rover.htm
(v1.07, 2008) -- Archive 21:4 PD column, 21:10 PD column
Both depend on the RiscOS Links Database set up by Paul Vigay --
www.riscos.org/links -- where he invites people to help keep the
database up to date. Dunno how this stands since Paul's death in 2009
but I do know someone has stepped forward to maintain Paul's other
software. Anyway, the "recent updates" list on the site does contain
entries marked 2011.
