Dear Folks,
A combination of the import function in mozzilla and an e-mail tag
should do the home/work/school address book. Ordinary file locking and
update should handle the single machine shared problem. The main
problem I see is galloping featuritis! One program must not be asked to
do everything; what is a sysadmin for? The multiple machine address
book solution would be novel. The single machine multiple user
problem has been done to death.
Shalom,
John B. Brown.
