SUMMARY#2: Script or tool for extracting Explorer output

I couldn't make the rest of the day without sharing it with you all.  I 
finally found something interesting that was submitted to me by Fredrik 
Nivesen.  He told me about a tool called "LISA", and available at this address:

http://www.service.sun.se/LISA/

This is VERY nice and do at least 95% of what I need.  So, I think I'll 
give it a good try!

Another solution has been submited to me by Bertrand Hutin, and looks good 
as well.  I didn't had the time to test it yet, but I thing it is worth a try:

Thanks to all again.
