Link-O-Mat PAV 1.5 E
(Pure AppleScript Version)

About
Link-O-Mat is an AppleScript which converts email-, http-, ftp- or image-links into proper UBB or HTML code. It will for example turn "busyman@mac.com" into "[email=busyman@mac.com][u]Busyman[/u][/email]" or
"<a href="mailto:busyman@mac.com"><u>Busyman</u></a>". It also works as a droplet, it recognizes addresses of Internet Location Files and those who are in the comment of a file or folder.

Link-O-Mat is 100% freeware and comes with no warrantees. It has been well tested (with over 4000 links) and has shown no major problems. Results may vary.
