AOLeave - Favorites
To use the Favorite Places tool you must save your Favorite Places from the AOL interface. To do this, go to the 'Favorites' menu and select 'Favorite Places'. Click on the 'Save/Replace' icon. Select the option 'Save the Favorite Places for your current screen name.' and click on the OK button. The default is to save the file as "Favorite Places.pfc" in your 'download' folder. Change the name to 'favorites.pfc'. Place a copy of the Java programs, 'Favorites.class', 'UrlComment.class', and 'ReadUrl.class', in the folder you saved 'addbook.pfc' to. To run the program open a DOS window and CD to the download directory.
The command to run the program is;
java Favorites favorites.pfc bookmark.htm
Please note, this command is case sensitive - type it exactly as shown, or cut and paste it.
This command starts java and runs the program Favorites.class, which reads the file you saved (favorites.pfc) and creates an output file (bookmark.htm). This file (bookmark.htm) is a Netscape style bookmark file and can be imported into Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
Here are the programs ( you need all three );
Download Favorites.class (3,406 bytes)
Download UrlComment.class (2,317 bytes)
Download ReadUrl.class (762 bytes)
Be sure not to change the filenames. If you do it will not work. They must be named 'Favorites.class', 'UrlComment.class', and 'ReadUrl.class' and these names are case sensitive.
