We are planning to move lots of CMS Mail users to POP Mail clients
using Netscape Mail over the next year.  What we would like to do
is run a CMS program to convert their nicknames file (userid NAMES)
into a download file for import into Netscape mail as the address book
(address.htm).  Before we coded this from scratch (reinventing the
wheel possibly) has anyone already written an EXEC (REXX?) to do this?
Or has anyone written a PC program to read a downloaded CMS NAMES file
for Netscape address book import?  Although it really doesn't matter
where the conversion is made, we preferred conversion on the VM/CMS
system.  Conversion programs on both sides would be nice, of course ;-)

Any help will be appreciated.
