- The program ADDBOOK.EXE can be used to export/import the address book
- contents to/from a plain ascii text file. The text file can then be edited
- using your favorite text editor. The contents can then be imported
- back into the address book. The user's total address count is then
- updated.
-
- The import/export text file contains four lines per address book entry.
- These lines and their maximum line length are shown below:
-
- Line 1: User's Name (35 characters)
- Line 2: User's Location (35 characters)
- Line 3: Internet Address to add (70 characters)
- Line 4: Comment (49 characters)
-
- Lines 1 and 2 must be the word 'PUBLIC' if you are importing to the public
- address book!
-
- When exporting, the destination file is overwritten. When importing, the
- address book is APPENDED to, not overwritten. If you want to replace your
- current address book with the import text, you must delete it and the
- INET.USR file for accurate information to exist in both files. It's better
- to just append, and then delete entries you don't want by using Inet.
-
- Included with this archive is a file called PUBLIC.TXT which contains some
- interested internet sites you can send email to and get cool lists and
- files from, all by using Inet! To use the PUBLIC.TXT file, simply run
- ADDBOOK IMPORT PUBLIC.ADD PUBLIC.TXT and your public address book will be
- updated for you.
