Welcome
==========================================================================

Linkman is a complete bookmarking solution to store, organize, annotate
and check your favorite Internet pages. Linkman efficiently handles up
to tens of thousands of URLs by using a database to store your links.
It can call upon many powerful facilities that replace the browser's
native bookmark management systems. You can easily add URLs from all
opened browser sessions and let retrieve keywords and descriptions
automatically. The user interface is highly customizable.
You get the capability to import and synchronize from existing bookmark
collections and export bookmarks in a variety of formats. You can even
build your own Export Templates. Several Template examples like XML and
HTML output are included. Linkman supports multiple versions of 9
different Windows browsers.
