I suspect this will work, but one caveat. If you have two or more
different users on the system all using Netscape simultaneously, you will
have a small but obnoxious problem. Every time any user updates the
bookmark file, the other users will get messages to the effect that the
bookmark file has changed and Netscape is now reloading them. This happens
not only when someone adds or deletes a bookmark, but also when someone
visits a bookmarked web page.
