+
+ WHAT IT DOES
+
+ This perl script converts an Outlook generated contact list into a
+ Sylpheed XML address book.
+
+ HOW TO USE IT
+
+ You must export Outlook Express contact list as TXT file, choosing
+ only "Name" and "Address" fields to export.
+
+ You must exit Sylpheed before converting the contact list.
+
+ From the command line, execute the following:
+
+ outlook2sylpheed.pl fullpathname
+
+ BUGS
+
+ Only works with fields described above. If you have more complex
+ examples send them to me, and I'll try to enhance the script.
+
+ Any questions, comments or problems, contact
+ Ricardo Mones Lastra <mones@aic.uniovi.es>
