JETLINKS 1.2 README
-------------------

Description
-----------

JetLinks is a program that manages internet bookmarks, links, URL
collections, favorites or whatever you may call them. Major features:

 * English and german program language

 * Compatibility with all major Windows browsers: Microsoft Internet
   Explorer, Netscape Navigator/Communicator, Netscape 6 and Opera

 * Advanced duplicate handling using aliases

 * System-wide hotkeys for easy use, even when working with another
   application

 * Highly configurable user interface

 * XML-based storing of bookmarks in separate files creates an
   additional grouping level.

 * Complete online help using HTML help technology and What's
   this-style help for easy access

 * URL and link import from HTML and plain text files

Lots of other features!


News for version 1.2.0.5
------------------------

Upgrading is recommended for all existing users. These are the major
advantages over the first version:

 * Advanced handling of duplicate URLs with the new alias mechanism 

 * The main program is fully translated to german. On all german
   Windows versions, it will automatically switch to that language. On
   english Windows, it will of course still be in english and you can
   switch languages on the fly. Translated help files will arrive
   soon!

 * Many functions have been speeded up considerably.  Partial support
   for Netscape 6 has been introduced. System integration with
   Netscape 6 is far from perfect, but if you are using that browser,
   you can now use it with JetLinks!

 * Many bugs have been fixed, making the program very stable also on
   Windows 9x platforms.

A more detailed list of changes can be found at
"http://www.Manfred-Dahlhoff.de/JetLinks/history" or in the help file
of the new version.
