It appears that it should not be too hard to do this. I would
rather see a file with a few more entries for Folders and URL's.
Are there other fields which you do not have in the defining of
either Folders and URL's?
Do you take the first occurance of a URL or the last?
How does a NAME get set? Could name be 'atripod' and another be
'ztripod' for www.tripood.com?
More info and I believe the list should be able to assis you in the
cleanup.
Wags ;)
