Netscape food for thought

[Ben Beeson]

Warren,

	I'll tinker a bit with the netscape files and see what happens over the 
next few days. 

	I have two scripts that I usually use when doing system backups, I run 
"CacheClean" first to get rid of old Netscape cache files, and then I run 
"MakeTOC" (Short for 'Make a Table of Contents' file that sort of grew 
into a backup script....) to do the actual backup.  I'd be happy to share 
them.  Should I send them to you, or post them to the list/submit to 
website???
