Trying to create a file that is 100% compatible with any other program is
impossible, since every product has their own view & style of
importing/exporting.  Are you just trying to interrelate between Netscape
for Windows/Linux, or are there other programs that you are seeking
compatibility with?

I forget who posted it, but an LDAP server is an excellent idea, except I
think it'd be overkill for what you want, and there are still some
programs that don't support LDAP.

BTW, why Netscape 6.2?  Good god man, migrate to Mozilla.  More up to
date, more stable, and doesn't include the shit that AOL believes you
should need with a Netscape distro.
