// Revision history:
//
// 07 Aug 2002 - Bug fix: Fixed computation error in extractToEnd().
//               Bug fix: Added missing call to init() to fetchResource().
//               Added methods skipBackTo() and skipBackToExact().
//
// 08 May 2002 - Added methods urlExists(), getLinks(), removeComments(),
//               removeScripts(), findNoCase() and findStringInArray().
//             - Modified at(), skipTo(), and extractTo() to be case insensitive.
//             - Added case sensitive analogs atExact(), skipToExact() and
//               extractToExact().
//
// 29 Apr 2002 - Initial version
