Re: Viewing AB data on your sun system



I didn't know about the strings command.  This is great! 
  (o well, so simple things keep me happy  :)

My AddressDB.pdb, along with the other DBs, was actually
in the 'backup' subdirectory of my PilotMgr app -- 
i.e., ~/Apps/PilotManager/backup/AddressDB.pdb

Thanks!
