I stand corrected re Ken Blackney's program "NavEx". I forward

Hello Ahmad,
The day before yesterday you posted to GP-UK the following:

(IE3 does that automatically. You don't need the Blackney program.)
I was puzzled, so I asked Ken Blackney about it. Within a few hours I
got his answer, which I am forwarding to you now.

MSIE converts one way -- NavEx can convert back to Netscape
so that MSIE users can send their Favorites or any sub-folder of
their Favorites to a Netscape friend.
Also, NavEx 2.0 can verify that a URL set still works. The
next version of NavEx will, hopefully, have a synchronizer to keep
two URLs -- for example your home and work sets -- in sync.
