if you are in fact speaking of the windows address book, run WAB.EXE and click file, export, address book... call it what you want to call it, and export it... transfer it to the new PC via floppy (if you want, or network) - it should be small enough, unless you have the population of brazil in your list...X-) then, in Win98, just import the file...

Outlook Express supports importing and exporting the following types of address books:
Export:
Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book
Text File (comma Separated Values)
Import:
Eudora Pro or Light Address Book (through v3.0)
LDIF - LDAP Data Interchange Format
Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book
Microsoft Internet Mail for Windows 3.1 Address Book
Netscape Address Book (v2 or v3)
Netscape Communicator Address Book (v4)

For additional information about importing and exporting address books in Outlook Express, please see Address Book Help.
NOTE: If Outlook Express does not support the format used by your other address book program, you may find a common format. For example, Outlook 2000 will import and export a comma separated text file and so will Outlook Express. You can use the Outlook Express format "Text File (comma Separated Values)" in this example as a file format that is common to both programs. This format is a plain text file, such as a Notepad file, that contains your address data using commas as a delimiter between data fields.
