Outlook 2000 (PC) to Entourage 2001 (Mac) contacts conversion utility

T

Tor Houghton

Hello,

FYI, really. I was having a rather exasperating time trying to convert MS
Outlook 2000 contacts (PC) to MS Entourage 2001 for Mac, because it seems
that the conversion utility provided on Microsoft's site
(http://tinyurl.com/25udp) doesn't unsit properly (does it? The actual
utility seems to unsit to 0 bytes for me.).

Anyway, the import utility requires Perl (which OS X has), and also the
CPAN module Text::CSV_XS (read up on "perl -MCPAN -e shell" on how to
install CPAN modules). It can be found here:

http://www.advanceknowledge.co.uk/news/20040526/o2ke2k1.html

It should also work with Entourage X, though I have not had the
opportunity to try it out.

Regards,

Tor

Or you could get my scripts "Export-Import Entourage 2001" which will do it
all for you.

Seems to be down?

True. They must be maintaining the server. You can also get it here:
