%%	www_open_url(+Url)
%
%	Open URL in running version of the users' browser or start a new
%	browser. Based on a windows-only version by Bob Wielinga.
%
%	On Unix life is a bit harder as there is no established standard
%	to figure out which browser to open.  We try:
%
%		* The start-program `open' (Mac and some Unix systems).
%		* Prolog flag `browser'
%		* Variable BROWSER
%		* All known browsers

%%	www_open_url(+Browser, +URL) is det.
%
%	Open a page using  a  browser.   Preferably  we  use an existing

%%	netscape_remote(+Browser, +Format, +Args) is semidet.
%
%	Execute netscape remote command using =|-remote|=. Create the
%	remote command using format/3 from Format and Args.
%
%	@bug	At least firefox gives always 0 exit code on -remote,
%		so we must check the error message.  Grrrr.
