   HOW TO USE IT

+  From the $HOME/.sylpheed directory, issue the command:
 
         perl filter_conv.pl
 
   That's it, the new filtering system is now implemented with your

 * ldif-to-xml.py

   This python script converts the netscape ldif format address book to
   the sylpheed xml format.
 
+  HOW TO USE IT
+
+  Inside Netscape export your address book to a file.
+  From the command line, execute:
+
+      ./ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
+
+  In case of trouble, just invoke your python interpreter directly:
 
+      python ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
+
+  Either way a file called addressbook.xml will be generated in the current
+  directory. This xml file should be merged with or simply placed in the
+  $HOME/.sylpheed directory.
+
+  Any problems, contact Rod Senra <rodrigo.senra@ic.unicamp.br>
