<DIV><SPAN class=529284216-03042002><FONT face=Arial size=2>Im looking for a way 
to store my contacts information in some sort of text file that can be imported 
into any other Personal Information Manager (PIM).&nbsp; I know that the Vcard 
and Vcalendar standards exist but it is unkown exactly how to represent a vcard 
in TEXT format.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=529284216-03042002><FONT face=Arial size=2>What am I trying to 
do: Wheen myself from Microsoft Products and be able to use contact information 
from Windows to Linux (So I dont have to retype the info over and 
over).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=529284216-03042002><FONT face=Arial size=2>How did this come 
up: Netscape runs in both Linux and Windows.&nbsp; Netscape 6.2 can be used for 
email and contacts.&nbsp; The contacts are NOT exportable (unless one "Prints it 
to a file").&nbsp; When I view the default file abook.mab (Netscapes Address 
Book) there is alot of extraneous characters and info there to sort 
through.&nbsp; When I print the contact/card to a file is is not in any standard 
viewable by any other PIM.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

right answer?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=529284216-03042002><FONT face=Arial size=2>I viewed a website 
that had a Vcard link that, when clicked on, automatically imported into your 
PIM (Outlook, Netscape, Notes) without incident!&nbsp; Thats what I 
want!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
