==Overview== <br />
The America Online ([[AOL]]) software stores email and web bookmarks (also known as "favorites") in a file known as the PFC (Personal Filing Cabinet) format.<br />
The format is different between Mac and PC versions apparently. The extension is either .pfc or nothing- see [http://astroblahhh.com/software/tips/aol-pfc-files-and-how-to-convert-them-for-free.shtml#how-i-used-pfc-viewer-to-export-my-mail here] for some details on the extension.<br />
<br />
==Tools==<br />
