WWWMerge is FREEware that will consolidate the hotlist entries for
the World Wide Web explorer that comes with Warp. If you have
multiple machines that you would like to keep in synch or if you
would like to exchange hotlists with your friends and co-workers,
this can aid you.
The hotlist is kept in the EXPLORE.INI file in the directory
pointed to by the ETC environment variable. This will merge the
hotlist entries without duplicates back into the live EXPLORE.INI.
A backup copy is made in EXPLORE.BAK. If there are entries in
your friend's hotlist that you don't want to merge into yours, you
can create a file called EXCLUDE.INI that looks exactly like an
EXPLORE.INI. If present, its hotlist entries that match the
entries in the file to be merged will not be added.
The syntax is
WWWMERGE otherini
For example, say your co-worker stops by with his EXPLORE.INI on a
floppy disk. You would type:
WWWMERGE A:\EXPLORE.INI
and viola, your C:\TCPIP\ETC\EXPLORE.INI would now contain the
entries from your hotlist and his. Now assume there are three
entries in the hotlist that you don't want to visit and you don't
want them to clutter your hotlist. Make a copy of your
EXPLORE.INI to EXCLUDE.INI. Edit both files and delete the ones
from EXPLORE.INI to remove. Leave them in EXCLUDE.INI and remove
all of the others. When you get new entries you don't want
edit both files and MOVE the appropriate lines from EXPLORE.INI to
EXCLUDE.INI
This is a "quick-and-dirty" utility that has become helpful to me.
Plans for future enhancement include a more automated way of
handling the EXCLUDE.INI file and a VisPro/REXX GUI for the whole
utility. I welcome comments on ways to make the utility more
helpful.
The code is free. Feel free to distribute it in whatever way you
choose. All I ask is that any modifications NOT be placed back
into a public location.
