mass account creation

[Charles Mangin]

i have a hosting client that has decided, reasonably enough, that each 
of their 64 employees should have his own email account (how they were 
getting by up to this point, i have no idea). they sent me, by my 
request, a list of the new accounts, names, and passwords to set up.

and so i'm faced with sitting down at the SIMS web interface and 
creating 64 new accounts.. feh.

i think i've asked this before, but never saw a reply: is there a way 
to mass-import or mass-create accounts (say, from a tab-delimited text 
file or something like that)? ideally, i'd like a way to import a text 
file with account name, password, real name, and that's it. if i need 
to put in things like default mailbox quota, etc, i'm fine with that - 
i'm a wiz at bbedit

i do remember that when i converted my server over from EIMS, there was 
a utility that converted the accounts and settings, and that used a 
formatted text file, so i'm optimistic. i searched the list, and found 
that the same utility is handy for *replacing* all the current accounts 
with new ones, but not for *updating* or adding accounts in the same 
manner.

any assistance would be appreciated, as i'm not looking forward to 
cutting and pasting usernames and passwords for an hour
