Sync Entourage-Address Book 2.0 for Panther
in Unicode*
Sync Entourage-Address Book 2.0 synchronizes Entourage X and Apple's Address Book in OS 10.3 (Panther) and later. It allows you to maintain Entourage as your centralized Personal Information Manager while at the same time taking advantage of the direct access provided to iSync, iChat, iPod, the .Mac Address Book, Fax programs, and more by OS X's Address Book. All Entourage fields sync to Address Book and back, with any unmapped fields recorded in the Notes, and Address Book's Instant Messenger and Related Names fields mapped to Entourage Custom Fields if desired. You can keep both applications in constant synchronization by running the script at any time, or automatically every night if you wish.

New in v2.0:
• works in Panther
• syncs nickname, title, suffix, department, spouse, children, anniversary directly to same fields
• syncs AB's friend, father, mother, parent, brother, sister, partner, assistant, other fields to Entourage custom fields if named the same (like the IM fields) - new easy setup in v2.0
• syncs Custom date 1 and Custom date 2 to same fields if named the same
• syncs nameless "AIM-only contacts" (e.g. as added by iChat to Address Book) without duplicates or deletions
• syncs AB's maiden name, phonetic first name, phonetic last name to Entourage notes
• sets company icon in Address Book if company but no name
• if Japanese format, syncs first and last name furigana directly to phonetic first, middle and last names
• ***totally automatic updating from here on - no extra scripts to run each time, no "Lost Script" bug
• no problems when changing Date & Time system preferences
• if sync times out, starting over and 'carrying on' works better (no re-dos)
• your own "real" notes at the top, thus displayed in Entourage summary line and Address Book line in view
• ***automatic updating of localized fields for International users - no scripts to run after first time
• new pricing: free Demo full-features: now allows full transfer of all contacts and syncing for 14 days, and an inexpensive Upgrade price from v1.x

(Unlike AppleScript Central, MacScripter.net never seems to be too busy to download.)
Unlike v1.x.x of this script for Jaguar, the free Demo mode is full-featured - synching all contacts (just like the paid Limited mode of v1.x.x).
Sync Entourage-Address Book 2.0 has only two modes:
����1.Demo Mode: Free for 14 days. Full-featured - sync all contacts and groups, and update for 14 days. (Like paid "Limited" mode in Jaguar.)
����2. Full Mode: $19.00.Unlimited: Full features forever in Panther, including free updates. All contacts and groups in both applications synced and updated.
������Upgrade price from Jaguar Full Mode (v1.x.x):$8.00.
����
To register for Full Mode, or to upgrade from v1.x.x (Jaguar) Full Mode:
• Double-click the Register web-page icon in the Sync Entourage Address Book 2 folder:
�
����or go to Kagi at <https://order.kagi.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?storeID=LNK&&> ,
����or click "Go to Kagi" the next time you run the script.
�
Important: Read Register or Demo, QuickStart, Installation, Setup, First Run and Preferences sections. The Operation section is recommended.
Important: If you are upgrading from v1.x.x (Jaguar) of the script, do not attempt to Reset Last Sync Date in PREFS Installer. If you were to do so, none of your existing contacts would gain the new fields in Address Book and would continue to sync them to the Notes, and there would be other missteps. Instead just run this new v2.0 Panther script as a First Run, setting "Most Recent" as precedent if you have not synced recently back in Jaguar, or choose whichever app you keep up to date as precedent when asked.
International (non-English) OS users: You MUST run International Helper script immediately after installation and before doing a First Run of Sync Entourage-Address Book or PREFS Installer. Read section 11. International at the end of the ReadMe now.
You must have Mac OS 10.3 (Panther) or later. This version will not work in Jaguar.
v1.2 for JAGUAR is still available at <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> and will continue to be supported.
