AddressBook utilities
---------------------

These programs are useful only on a Macintosh. They use the AddressBook Tcl extension
by Bernard Desgraupes to extract information from the MacOS X AddressBook database.

addressbook2tcl.tcl
-------------------
Tcl script that dumps your AddressBook database into a Tcl script named 
AddressBook-YYYY-MM-DD.tcl. Executing this script reloads all the persons
and groups in the database, so it restores your database if you empty it before
running the script. This script therefore constitutes a human readable
backup of your AddressBook database. (Exporting to VCard format does not make a 
backup since notes are dropped when exporting VCards).
Warning: The ID of a restored person or group will not be the same as
in the original database. This may cause synchronization issues with iSync.

addressbook2xml.tcl
-------------------
Tcl script that dumps your AddressBook database into an XML file named
AddressBook-YYYY-MM-DD.xml. There is no DTD for this file since the elements 
bear the name of the attributes of the records.
I didn't write anything that reads this XML format yet, but it yields a good
textual representation of your AddressBook database.

addressbook2tex.tcl
-------------------
Tcl script that dumps your AddressBook database into a LaTeX file named
AddressBook-YYYY-MM-DD.tex. The addressbook document class is the used to format 
this file into an A4 printable address book.
Then, using the pdfbooklet LaTeX package, you can turn your PDF address book into
an A6 printable address book. Print it in full duplex on A4 paper, cut the pages in
two A5 sheets and fold them to get your A6 address book. Two staples in the fold 
will make a nice binding...

addressbook.cls
---------------
LaTeX document class for typesetting address books created with addressbook2tex.tcl

addressbook.cfg
---------------
Configuration file for addressbook.cls

pdfbooklet.sty
--------------
LaTeX package for building A6 booklets from A4 PDF documents.

AddressBook.tex
---------------
LaTeX file that uses pdfbooklet.sty to turn your A4 address book into an A6 booklet.
