- Net2CAB v1.02 (c) 1997 by Mark Hammond (using OSS Pascal)
- ============================================================================
-
- About Net2CAB
- -------------
- Net2CAB is designed to convert the 'bookmark' files created in Netscape
- to the format used by CAB (v1.5) for its 'hotlist' file.
-
- Features
- --------
- This is my first Atari program ! and as I have yet to master the
- intracacies of GEM coding, it is just a TOS program. However, it has to
- be said that as it is so simple in use, it really wouldn't benefit from
- being GEM'ed anyway.
-
- BTW this was coded without the aid of a manual!
-
- Using Net2CAB
- -------------
- It could hardly be simpler. Either copy your 'bookmark.htm' file into
- the same directory as Net2CAB, and press Return at the prompt, or type
- in the full path name of the file, if located elsewhere. Seconds later
- you will find (I hope) the file 'hotlist.htm' which should then be
- transferred to the CAB /modules/ folder. As ever it would be prudent
- to rename your original to 'hotlist.htx' or whatever.
-
-
- Limitations and known problems
- ------------------------------
- Net2CAB was created and tested on a Falcon, running Magic & Thing
- (I've tried them all (excluding Mint) and this combo is the business.
- Do yourselves a favour and try it).
-
- Being a fairly straightforward TOS prog, I hope that it should work on
- all Atari's. No doubt someone will tell me otherwise!
-
- If you have imported the Netscape file from a Unix system, you should
- first load the file into a good editor (such as QED) and resave it with
- Atari style CR/LF linefeeds, otherwise Net2CAB will get confused! I
- will attempt to remedy this problem in the next release.
-
- Had I known how to code 'drag & drop' functions I would have
- implemented it. Maybe someone would like to let me know.

- Now if you could just improve the GIF/JPG dithering? Speak to Thomas
