‘AB Transfer’ 1.2 adds option to import ‘Act!’ DBF files to OS X’ address book
Kiel, Germany (March 14, 2005) - turingart is pleased to announce the immediate availability of ‘AB Transfer’ 1.2.
‘AB Transfer’ reads, converts and imports contact data from files into OS X’ address book. An enhanced version ‘AB Transfer Pro’ will allow to import data from database sources like FileMaker, MySQL or generic ODBC sources. Pro is to be released soon.
Besides CSV and tab-separated input data, ‘AB Transfer’ converts Windows/DOS to Mac data, strips leading or trailing white space. A preview window show read data before the actual import. Currently, ‘AB Transfer handles these fields: First name, name, maiden-name, nickname, title, email, phone fax, homepage, country, state, city, ZIP, street, note.
Release 1.2 adds support for DBF files created by ‘Act!’. Thus, ‘AB Transfer’ is well suited for users running ‘Act!’ on OS 9/classic, since the application migrates data in one 5 minutes to OS X. ‘Act!’ import is as easy as CSV or TAB-separated file import.
A very intuitive OS X address book like GUI simplifies import operations. Within 3 minutes an import is set up and within a few more minutes, new records are inserted.
As a first class OS X citizen, ‘AB Transfer’ isn’t available for other operating system.
