Welcome
==========================================================================

Linkman is a complete bookmarking solution to store, organize, annotate
and check your favorite Internet pages. Linkman efficiently handles tens
of thousands of URLs by using a database to store your links.
It can call upon many powerful facilities that replace the browser's
native bookmark management systems. You can easily add URLs from all
opened browser sessions. The user interface is highly customizable - many
events like clicks on the Tray Icon can be configured. You get the
capability to import and synchronize from existing bookmark collections
and export bookmarks in a variety of formats including IE Favorites,
Netscape Navigator Bookmarks, Opera Hotlist, HTML Linkpages and XML.
You can even build your own Export Templates. Linkman supports all major
Windows browsers.
