Opening saved AOL .pfc files(favorites)
I saved my AOL Favorites list to a floppy, but I can't open them with any program I try. I want to delete all 2,500 of them from my list in order to free up space, but don't to delete them until I can find out how to open them from my floppy. Thanks.

I understood the question to be:
"until I can find out how to open them from my floppy. Thanks."
Nothing was said about leaving AOL for a different service nor trying to convert AOL Favorites, PFC Files or
the Address Book.

In fact as I read it, the questioner was remaining with AOL not changing to another ISP, but heck what do I know???

"Since AOL software is proprietary, no other application will make the "Saved file act like it did not AOL. Its only use is to print out and URLs so you can copy and paste them into another Browser Application."
I'm not even sure what this phrase means, and all the questioner asked was to be able to 'find out how to open them from my floppy'. Which the applications I linked to should be able to do.
