Mosaic-to-Netscape ini file converter v1.06.
-------------------------------------
If you're like me, you've probably got at least 50 URLs in your Mosaic
menu structure. If you decide to try out Netscape instead, then they
have to be retyped in manually, and then the menu structure reassembled.
This program converts the URLs into a bookmark.html file, as is used by
Netscape to store its bookmarks, and also attempts to maintain the menu 
structure that you've lovingly assembled in Mosaic. In the older versions
of Mosaic hotlist (if present) is added as a toplevel menu.

Notes on use.
-------------
This is a Visual basic application, and as such needs the vbrun300.dll file
in your windows/system directory. This can easily be found using Mosaic.
(Try opening URL ftp://ftp.cica.indiana.edu/pub/pc/win3 and go from there)
It also hasn't been tested on OS/2, so be warned.

This really designed to be run immediately after installing Netscape, as if
there's nothing in the bookmark file already. Be warned, if you have got URLS
in your Netscape bookmark file, they will be over written without warning.
There is a backup checkbox, to save a copy of your original bookmark file if
you want, but the backup can be overwritten if multiple conversions are done;
If you're really paranoid just copy it into another directory.

Note that the Netscape stores your email addresses in your bookmark file, and
this will be overwritten, and you'll have to retype it in. If you haven't set
this up yet then do it afterward. (off the "Options" menu, "Preferences", then
select "mail and proxies" in the listbox.

READ THE HELP (PRESS THE 'HELP' BUTTON!)

Limitations
-----------
I didn't bother creating an icon for this program, (which I wrote basically
just to learn VB) as you'll probably only use it once. 

In older versions of Mosaic, the first line of mosaic's hotlist reads
"file:///c|/". This is unavoidably left in. You'll just have to remove it
manually..(Go to the bookmarks menu, select "view bookmarks", etc...). This is
not a problem in the beta versions of mosaic, that use a different approach
for hotlists.

The file associations stored in mosaic.ini are not converted.(eg wav, mpeg
etc) They go in netscape.ini, not bookmark.htm. You have to do those manually.
If you don't bother, then the first time netscape meets a file of an unknown
type, you have the option to set it up for future reference.

The '?' that appear in the bookmark listings after conversion are a side
effect from netscape storing 'Last date visited' etc, and not understanding
'0' that I put in that field. They go away as you visit the sites.

Distribution
------------
This program is public domain, but I'd appreciate an acknowledgement if you
use the code anywhere. Source code included.

Version History
---------------
v1.06 - Added the help button, changed the browser to allow .hot files as
well as .ini files. Made program public domain and included source.

v1.05 - fixed bug that cropped up when the last menu in mosaic.ini was
toplevel. Had to add code to cope with two more changes in mosaic.ini file
format used by mosaic beta 1 (spaces are removed from the menu names, and
hotlist section has been replaced with a "Hotlist Manager").

v1.02 - added code to cope with changes in mosaic.ini file format in Mosaic
version alpha 9 (change of format of the hotlist section and also word
wrapping had been added when long addresses were entered).
