Assuming the Explorer bookmarks are in a plain-text format, you could
write a script to convert them into the same format as Netscape's bookmark
file, and then import them. Assuming the bookmarks aren't separated into
folders, you should get them into the following format, one bookmark per
line:
<DT><A HREF="http://www.foo.com/foo/bar.html">A Link To Foo.com</A>
This should be enough to enable Netscape to import them.
If you have folders you want to preserve, then wrap the above in the
following structure:
<DL><p>
<DT><H3>Folder Name</H3>
<DL><p>
<DT><A....>....</A>
<DT><A....>....</A>
</DL><p>
<DT><H3>Another Folder Name</H3>
<DL><p>
<DT><A....>....</A>
<DT><A....>....</A>
</DL><p>
</DL><p>
