[Techtalk] Robust link checker?

[data trauma]

 Try linkscan
http://www.elsop.com/linkscan/

I use it regularly as it provides easy to read reports. It also checks for orphaned files, validates html and scans large sites quickly. Its free for sites that are less than 500 pages. For larger sites I think you need to purchase a license. It runs on Unix and Windows

Regards
Leena
