Web Explorer to XMosaic Hotlist converter

This program will take a hotlist from Web Explorer Version 1.0 and newer
(possibly older versions too) and a hotlist from Xmosaic from a Unix machine
and merge them together into a single hotlist to be used for Xmosaic. 

If you're like me, you have an OS/2 machine at home on the net, and use
Unix machines at school or work. I've found it extremely frustrating trying
to keep the two hotlists synchronized. Rather than turning my hotlist into
an HTML document, I've decided to do this instead. 

The program is to be run from the command line in OS/2.

USAGE:
we2xmos explorer.ini  .mosaic-hotlist-default newxmosaichotlist

The explore.ini file is usually found in either your TCPIP\etc dir or your
webexplorer dir. The .mosaic-hotlist-default file is typically found in your
home directory in Unix.

I suggest making backup copies of your explore.ini and .mosaic-hotlist-default
files just in case. When finished, the merged hotlist will be found in the
last filename given. You should copy this file to the name 
.mosaic-hotlist-default so Xmoasic will read it in.

The system will not make duplicate URL entries, therefore, it's safe to run 
this converter more than once. 

NOTE: You MUST convert your xmosaic hotlist files to DOS-OS/2 text format
using something like unix2dos (found on most unix machines). this is because
Unix and DOS machines handle returns and linefeeds differently. 

I will soon be releasing a xmosaic -> Web explorer converter also.
