    Hello Cyber-Sleuths,
    
    The Netscape history file keeps track of places you have been, including
    dates.  I have found an entry in the history file that is very significant
    to my case, but Netscape seems to have marked it as expired and I cannot get
    the NS History viewer to display the entry.  I can see it with strings,
    gHex, BinText, etc, but I cannot get the date info I need this way since the
    date field is in binary.
    
    Is there a viewer that anyone knows of that will let me review the entire
    contents of the history file (netscape.hst - Win32, history.dat - Unix), in
    its entirety?  Seems to me that this would be a very common tool to have.
    We have become spoiled by the lack of privacy in IE and ease with which this
    info can be had, so I suspect that there are not too many tools out there
    for NS.  An EnCase escript would be nice :)
    
    Thanks for your help.
