Perhaps Internet surfers more experienced than I can remember all of those weird addresses. I can't. I also got tired of keeping track of all the little scraps of paper where I had them written down. So, WWW Sites was born.
WWW Sites is a small HyperCard stack which holds the World Wide Web addresses you want to keep. It allows for saving, sorting, printing and one click copying of the URL's (UnRememberable Locations). There is also room for notes. I keep it running in the corner of my screen so I can jump to it when I want one of the addresses stored there. It can also create an HTML file with all of your URL's ready for clicking. It can now launch or capture a site from Netscape.
The first time you try to capture or launch from Netscape, it may ask for Netscape's location with a dialog box. Just navigate to your copy of Netscape and click "open".
WWW Sites requires HyperCard or HyperCard Player 2.x.
WWW Sites is protected. If you use it more than 10 times without registering, you lose access to your data. The cost is only $5.00. I will send you the "key" to protecting your data when I receive your registration.

DIRECTIONS:
BUTTONS:
There are 12 buttons on the WWW Sites screen. Clicking on the buttons which say "Site:", "Address:", or "Notes:" will select the text in the appropriate field for revisions.
The "New" button creates a new record card.
The button that looks like a printer will print a report with the information from all of the record cards.
The button that looks like a magnifying glass brings up a "find" dialog box. You enter the text you want WWW Sites to find.
The "≡-C" button performs the same function as selecting the address and pressing command-C to copy the address to the clipboard. Just one click! Go back to your web browser and press command-V for paste.
The "Sort" button arranges the record cards into alphabetical order. This makes sense before printing the report.
The "Delete This Record" button will destroy the current record card only.
The "Create URL Site" button will use Simpletext to create an HTML file that you can open with your web browser. All of the addresses you have entered into WWW Sites will be listed as links.
The "Capture Netscape URL" button will capture the current URL showing in Netscape 2.0 and create a new record in WWW Sites.
The "Open URL in Netscape" button will launch the URL which is showing in WWW Sites in Netscape 2.0.
The arrow buttons take you one card further or back in the database.
