For those without UniServe, John Williams' URLtoIE http://irene.williams.free.fr/software/urltoie.htm may be of interest: This application loads onto the iconbar and provides a conversion from an Acorn URI shortcut, an ANT URL shortcut, or a plain text file - dragged from, say, NetSurf's URL bar - to an Internet Explorer shortcut. Thus, if you find something in NetSurf that doesn't work too well - perhaps because it uses JavaScript - you can quickly process the URL/URI into a form that LanMan will transfer sensibly to your 'Windows' machine. Although IE is mentioned, URLtoIE works equally well with Firefox.
