What would you compare? Just e-mail addresses? Or would you want to match up
multiple fields? The first is fairly easy; the latter can be exceedingly
complex.

If I wanted simply to find out, for instance, what e-mail addresses were in
OE that were not in Entourage, I'd export from both to text files, then edit
those files down to just one e-mail address per line, sort them, and then
use BBEdit to do a "differences" on them. Or in OS X you could use Terminal
and the Unix "diff" utility (type "man differences" in Terminal for a sparse
manual about it). You can probably download a demo of BBEdit or its lite
companion, Text Wrangler, to do the comparison if you don't own either.
