    Universal file-based Favorit Link List System
    =============================================

    UrlBase 1.0 (21-Jun-2001), й 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.


    Example URL file
    ----------------

    AmCluSt.info    project icon    default Tool: "c:IconX"
    AmCluSt         58 -s--rwed     Comment: "http://www.amclust.de/"

    Content:    c:OpenURL "http://www.amclust.de/"

      IF YOU DON'T USE THE INSTALL SCRIPT

      You have to edit the value of the variable "url_base"
      in every * marked Arexx script to the path, where you
      copied the "UrlBase/" folder to.
