1. What is this?
----------------
Netscape Address Book Recovery. This is a tool to take that corrupted
Netscape Address Book and get your information out of it. After the third
time my book got corrupted, I gave up trying to fix it by hand and wrote
this program. It output's a .csv file with all your cards. It does not know
how to handle mailing lists, for the big reason that I do not know how to
write it to the .csv so that it makes sense. This program attempts to get as
much information out of the address book as is possible. But as with all
programs of this type, it will always need to change to keep track of the
different ways in which the address book can be corrupted.

5. Usage
--------
The netscape address books are abook.mab and history.mab. The first one is
your personal address book and seems to be the one that gets corrupted the
most. Depending on your OS it can be in different places on your file
system. Nothing that a file search won't resolve. Take the newest one.

The program is used as follows: nabr abook.mab abook.csv

The first parameter is the input file, the second is the output file.
