FetchDave for Windows
FetchDave
is a simple Windows program designed to let you enjoy Late Show with
David Letterman Top Ten Lists tm
whenever you have the urge.
FetchDave maintains a database (built by retrieving lists from the CBS Web Site) of Top Ten Lists ordered by date. You can view lists in random order by clicking the Random button or wander the list database using the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the FetchDave window.
If you have an Internet connection, you can freshen your FetchDave database with the Update button. This button causes FetchDave to check the CBS web sites for new lists and add any it finds to your database.
Want to see a Top Ten List every time you start up your machine? Add FetchDave to your Startup group. The program includes command line options that will cause it to run only once per day, or to close automatically after a preset time has elapsed. Consult the help page for more information.

Version 1.11 Upgrade. This
corrects a problem with the Update function that appeared during the
summer of 2002 when CBS changed the format of the Top Ten web site. If
the Update function has stopped working in your copy of FetchDave, just
download this ZIP file and use the EXE file inside to replace your
existing copy of FetchDave.exe.FetchDave.zip, 26KB, 23 September 2002 |

If you have any questions, comments, or problems, please don't hesitate to send me mail at fetchdave@miken.com.
I have tried to clean up all the lists currently in the database. If you find a broken list, please e-mail me the date of the list in question. If you have lists that aren't in the database, and would like to share them, send me mail and I'll try to incorporate them.
