importing .wab file into address book or anywhere else on my mac

Hello all,

I'm trying to import a Windows .wab file into Address Book (or anywhere else on my Mac for that matter) but can't find a way to make the two like eachother.

I got the file from someone else and do not have a Windows computer to use in the process.

Any suggestion would be most welcome!

Mac Book, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Unfortunately those files are in a format unknown to any Mac application. What you may try is this utility but I do not know that it will convert only the .wab file, but it's supposed to be able to convert Outlook data to an OS X readable format.

In the future be aware that Outlook data files are incompatible with OS X. Have your Windows friends export their data files in a readable format such as Comma or Tab delimited text files.
