Oh, it's easy enough to export, but some data is usually lost when you import it into another contact management database. It's a general problem not at all unique to Turba. > ...

Absolutely! That's one of the reasons I love this software. It's just that this advantage does not weigh as heavily with people who have little idea of what to do with, say, a comma-delimited database dump. > Also, any particular reason you sent this to the IMP list instead of Turba? Oh, is there a Turba list? Well, of course there is! Yes, I suppose that would have been a better choice.
