AdShield, the freeware banner ad blocker available for the Windows operating
system, maintains a list of all blocked sites in a file called 'AdShield.abl'
in the main program directory.


This file is not human-readable and cannot be easily edited in a text editor,
these two utilities will allow you to convert the block list file into a text
file so that it may be viewed/sorted/edited and then convert that text file
back into the format that AdShield expects.
