One more Eudora question: importing address book

Reading the recent Eudora posts, it seems that -- like the last of
the Mohicans -- the Eudora cognoscenti appear to be fading into the
mist as they (of necessity or choice) move on to other viable
programs.

I am caught with an older problem, and searching the Qualcomm boards,
Google, and the TidBITS archives has not provided a useful answer, at
least not one that I've found. We have Eudora (7) on a PC. We have
Eudora (6.2) on a Mac. It is needful to transfer the address book
from the PC to the Mac.

There actually is a technical note from Qualcomm on doing this
(http://eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1644hq.html), and toward the bottom
of that page is a section on Address Books). However, on the PC the
NNDBASE.TXT file that the article refers to is zero length, and the
nicknames folder recommendation did not work.

As Eudora's light flickers and fades -- has anyone successfully
transferred a PC Eudora Address Book to a Mac Eudora?

The TidBITS community: the last, great hope.

Regards,
Bill

I believe that note is about Eudora 6 PC to Eudora 6 Mac. Eudora 7
on the PC is, as I recall a very different program. I think you are
out of luck.

In fact, it is best to not even think of Eudora 7 as Eudora at all,
but as the first attempt by Qualcomm (and as it turned out, last
attempt) to migrate Eudora to a new code base.
