BBDB is written by: +Jamie Zawinski <jwz@mcom.com>. My current version is 1.50. + +We have prepared a family of filters for BBDB. Currently the output +filters include: + + - bbdb --> emacs lisp exporting (for exchanging business cards) + - bbdb --> HP100/200 LX Phone Book + - bbdb --> PC Eudora Nicknames + - bbdb --> CC Mail Nicknames + - bbdb --> PH/QI + +There is presently only one input filter: + + - bbdb <-- UNIX passwd files + +We hope that over time a variety of other input and output filters +will be added to this collection. + + +bbdb-export in particular, can be very useful over the net. +It provides a convenient way for exchanging business cards. + + +This is a preliminary release. This stuff has not been tested much +outside of our office. We do use most of these filters on an going basis +and they work fine for us. + +To install, just edit the makefile and run "make install". + +To run them, read the comments on top of each filter file. + +There is very skimpy documentation in latexinfo format. It is just +meant to be a starting point. + +In addition to the attached shar file, +you can also ftp this package from: + //anonymous@ftp.neda.com:/pub/eoe/bbdbPlus/bbdb-filters-0.2.tar + URL = ftp://ftp.neda.com/pub/eoe/bbdbPlus/bbdb-filters-0.2.tar + +Many of the filters require bbdb-tex-print package by: +Boris Goldowsky <boris@prodigal.psych.rochester.edu>. + +The one that we use can be found in: + //anonymous@ftp.neda.com:/pub/eoe/bbdbPlus/bbdb-tex-3.0.tar + URL = ftp://ftp.neda.com/pub/eoe/bbdbPlus/bbdb-tex-3.0.tar + +You can checkout the overview of this package by +browsing the manual (latex/info/html) at: + URL = http://www.neda.com/eoe/bbdbFilters/bbdbFilters.html + + +Send bug-reports, comments and suggestions to: + Mohsen Banan-neda <mohsen@neda.com> +and refer to: + bbdb-filters RCS: README,v 1.2 1995/08/08 02:59:15 mohsen Exp + + +Hope you find this helpful. + +...Mohsen. + |
