Hi,

The scoops generates a file from the original full webpage, for example:
http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&PartnerREF=&catid=0&area=software.newproducts25&searchtitle=Last%2025%20New%20Software%20Titles&searchterm=&step=1&orderby=modificationdate&direction=asc&userid=0&prodid=80848
(the moddle frame)
