PABTool Freeware is a MAPI/Exchange/Outlook/Netscape/Palm
Pilot/Database Personal Address Book PAB translator for Windows95/98
and Windows NT.  Seamlessly translate all of your personal
address book information across various mail clients and PIMs.
PABTool lets you access the power of the Exchange Personal Address
Book (PAB) to use as your electronic rolodex, or to simply move your
e-mail addresses from one mail system to another.

Windows 95/98 support:  PABTool includes long filename support and
tight integration with the Windows 95 shell, MS Exchange, Netscape, and
the Palm Pilot Desktop.

Open database file format:  PABTool imports and exports from/to
tab delimited text format and now Netscape and Palm Pilot formats
to ensure the maximum usefulness of your address book data.
Using this format you can read, modify, write
your address data from a databse, spreadsheet, word processor, or
simply an editor.  dBase, Excel, Word, and even Wordpad handle this
format for you.  Print, edit, or totally tweak your addresses using
any of these programs!

PABTool is extremely easy to use!  To export a PAB run the program
and logon to the exchange profile containing the PAB that you want
to export.  Click the Export button, choose an export file and format, and
that's it!  When you want to put your addresses back into Exchange,
simply click on Import, choose your import file, and your old PAB
will be backed up, and your import file will be used to make your
new PAB!  Extensive help is always available if you need to know more
about PABTool.

PABTool runs on Windows95/98 and Windows NT.  Exchange
or any MAPI mail client such as Outlook 
is also required since PABTool needs the MAPI interface to access
your personal address book during imports and exports.  If you can't
install Windows Messaging, consider using PABTool Shareware which
does not require MAPI.  See the online help for details.
