ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Introduction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
IBM WebExplorer Quicklist-Sorter (QLSORT)
by
Thomas Unger
This Program is a simple Utility to arrange IBM's WebEx Quicklist-Entries.
I found it annoying to arrange these Tags manually fiddling around with WebEx
explore.ini, so I first wrote a Tool using StarOffice's VBA-compatible Basic.
But loading a big Office-Program just to sort a Quicklist seemd a bit
exaggerated.
So here is a small, fast and easy to use Tool to do the work.
