Transferring "Favorites" to new browsers

[Dean Huster]

Can the Bookmarks from Netscape Navigator 3 be easily transferred into the Favorites of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or must everything be painstakingly entered by hand?

In Internet Explorer, just click on File, then on Import/Export to import your favorites.

Do you use 2 browsers? Would'nt it be nice if both browsers used
the same bookmarks? PC Magazine's SyncURLs imports your Navigator
bookmarks and IE Favorites into a single bookmark library. You can
rearrange your bookmarks within SyncURLs, then export them back out
so that both browsers contain the same bookmarks and folders.

For all you Opera users 8-)

Makes a BEAUTIFUL html version of your hotlist. (The CAPS were not an accident.)

I happen to favor having different "bookmarks" in my different browsers.

I use NS 4.7x, Mozilla 0.91, Opera 5.11 and Opera 3.62 and I use them for different reasons. Running the same bookmark file in each would be counter-productive.

I do, though, like to be able to access my other bm, hotlist, favorites from each browser, so...

I keep an htm file of each stored in a seperate folder. (NS is easy, they are natively stored as an html file, I just copt 'em).

I then add a shortcut to each file to my bms in each browser.

Very handy (and not nearly as complicated as I made it sound!)

It's also not a bad idea to keep a copy somewhere on the web to provide access when you are away from your computer. For privacy reasons, I keep mine on my own ftp, but faw,freedrive or the like can do the job if you don't have your own site.

I also keep a floppy in my briefcase with

(1) a bookmark.htm file (accessable by any browser on any computer)

(2) a small email proggie (Kaufman's is my choice ----under 800k) with my accounts all set up.

Just in case I get stranded and need to access something, any computer with a floppy drive and a browser will allow me to find what I need.
