Hello folks,
I have some GBytes backup from an old Mac, running under Mac OS X 1.5,
including the AddressBook
database. While the Mac runs now under OS X 3.6, the question is, how
to get the AddressBook database
into some more readable format to import them, or directly convert them
to the new AddressBook via
a small app that uses the ABook-API. (Yeah, I know, easiest way would
have been, to export the records,
while in X 1.5, but now it's too late)
Looking into the raw file ("Address Book.addressbook") reveals, that
most of the data is clear text, but not
easy to re-construct. My first guess, was to use the NSCoding-mechanism
to get the Data (Objects ?)
into a readable format, but without luck. (I guess here were made some
changes in the last years)
Second guess, was to link against the old AddressServices.framework
(MacOSX10.1.5.sdk), but I have no
experience, how to get sth. like that to work. I know how to add the
framework, but I don't see any
header files. It seems, that they are only included at the 10.2.sdk or
higher.
Does someone have experience to handle stuff like this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Lorenz
