Universal file-based Favorit Link List System
=============================================
UrlBase 1.0 (21-Jun-2001), ⌐ 2001 by C. Effenberger
If you often use Internet Software you possibly notice
that all these programs use their own URL-Database format.
Irrespective of what they term it (Hotlist, Favorits,
Bookmarks), the formats are always incompatible and it's
mostly impossible to get quick access from Workbench.
That's the reason why I made my own version of a
universal file based Favorit Link List System.
The basic concept behind the idea is very simple.
Only standard system resources are used (ARexx and Shell-
Commands), except of ReqTools.library (for "c:RequestString"
only) and a general API to handle URLs (OpenURL package).
Every URL has it's own file. Thereby you can handle your
URLs with drag `n drop and double clicking. The filesystem
will be used like a database.
Now you can access an URL via Workbench (double click),
Shell (execute) and every program with an ARexx port.
The included ARexx scripts to 'Add' and 'Edit' URLs
ask you for an URL, a Filename and a Comment. The Icon
is choosen depending of the URL-Scheme from ".info/"
subdirectory of "UrlBase/". The Files script bit will
be set and the file comment is filled with the URL.
