Full-text Fetcher is an automated tool for retrieving the full-text of a specific article from a variety of different sources. It was created as a student final-year project at the University of Glasgow. The purpose of the project was to provide a fully automated and easy way of retrieving medical articles from the Internet opposed to manual web browsing procedures.
Full-text Fetcher is written in Java so you need the suitable Java SDK (version 5.0 or later) to run be able to run it. Please refer to the INSTALL documentation for details on how to do this.
The latest version and online documentation can either be obtained in archive format from http://gavin.brokentrain.net/projects/ftf.tar.gz or checked out directly from the subversion repository http://svn.brokentrain.net/ftf/trunk.
Please refer to the accompanying INSTALL file.
