                     Bookmarks Database and Internet Robot
 
 WHAT IS IT
-   There is a set of classes, libraries, programs and plugins I use to
-manipulate my bookmarks.html. I like Netscape Navigator, but I need more
-features, so I write and maintain these programs for my needs. I need to
-extend Navigator's "What's new" feature (Navigator 4 calls it "Update
-bookmarks").
