Welcome to WebTabs! Version 1.0e 5/22/98 WebTabs is a sophisticated bookmark manager and Web agent that helps you to organize your use of the World-Wide Web. With full support for annotations and cross-references, it is much more than a list of bookmarks --- it is a bibliographic database for sites and sounds. WebTabs works directly with Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer to track the sites you visit and to re-visit those sites. Hot and cold lists help to tell you when pages are updated. Import and export mean that WebTabs integrates into your existing environment. Here are some of its features: * Tracks visits as you browse the World-Wide Web using Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. * Launches your browser * Opens documents from bookmarks in WebTabs. * Allows you to organize bookmarks into folders * Encourages you to annotate bookmarks and folders * Provides unlimited nesting of folders * Supports annotations on folders as well as bookmarks * Supports drag-and-drop operations for organizing folders and bookmarks. * Provides user-defined relationships among entries. * Cross-reference folders or bookmarks using user-defined relationships. * Supports unlimited searching of your collections. * Supports both public and private annotations on bookmarks * Defines a "watch list" to automatically update bookmark attributes. * Supports bookmarks that are either document URLs or search strings. * Imports Netscape and Internet Explorer bookmark files. * Exports information as NetScape bookmark files, HTML, or comma-delimited text.
