Hmm, that was pretty stupid of me. The method I posted earlier
assumes the know where their bookmarks fils is. If they know that,
than simply have IE import them which is now supported, at least
IE6 anyway. Sorry for the stupid post.
I did have a look at scripting it. The best I was able to come up
with in the time allocated was simply getting the links. The tough
part is retaining the folder structure if they have one.
I vote for just having them import them to IE.
