Anyway, the number of visists in fact, does not come from the .url file, but
rather, it look's in Internet Explorer's history or cache, or something and
adds up the visits from there. If you don't know how to read the .url file,
then attached is a description by Edward Blake (whoever he is) that wrote in
to the www.wotsit.org web site.
