What I'm considering is having all of the copies of Netscape point to 
a common bookmark.htm file on one of the servers (by modifying the
netscape.ini file on each machine). This would make it easier to control
the size of the bookmark file, among other things.

Would there be a problem with file sharing, etc? Has anyone else here ever
tried this?

================
Since last August, the 50-60 terminals in our library share the same 
bookmark file.  I get to update it (which of course I don't/can't 
do as often as I like); I just go to the server directory and open 
the Bookmark file as I would any bookmark file.  When I'm finished, 
any reload of Netscape would bring up the newer file.  I have very 
specific ideas in mind for these bookmarks.  If you want to see what 
I have, we also keep them as a file on our resources page at

Enjoy!
