This program acts as a universal translator (no trademark infringement 
intended) between various programs and their addressbooks in particular. 
This version is even equipped with a last resort extraction feature and 
automation. It can also sort adresses by E-Mail address or by Nickname. 
In short, it's an E-Mail address manager. It is absolutely free to use
and distribute in the form seen here, but the source code is not freely
distributable.

Dawn works with the following programs:

Netscape Communicator 4.x and up 
Netscape Navigator 3.x

Installing Dawn

As you may notice there is no upgrade available from Dawn 3.x or 4 betas. This 
is because Dawn 4.0 beta 4 is the first version of Dawn written in Visual Basic 
6 instead of 4. Please uninstall any previous versions before proceding.

  Obtain Dawn from a download site.
  go to http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html
  Find the VB 6 runtime files. At the time of this 
  writing the latest file is SIMVB6_5.ZIP
  Unzip it into an empty folder and run setup.exe
  Follow the instructions in those files
  Uncompress the Dawn zip file into another empty folder
  Run setup.exe. Follow the onscreen instructions. 
  Dawn should now be available in the folder you chose under the Start Menu 

Note

Beginning with version 4.0 beta 1 Dawn does not come bundled with the essential 
Visual Basic runtime files which many people already have. This decreases the 
size of the archive file to the lowest it has been since Dawn was Nacwonaf 2.0.
