So what kind of business
are you in, Mr. Vandelay? Imports and exports, eh? Sounds interesting. When
it comes to importing and exporting data, sometimes the direct route isn't possible.
Let's say you need to get one address book format into another; program X will
export into format X, but program Y (where you need to import the data) won't
read format X. Now, what if program Z will import format X and export format
Y? It's a roundabout way to get the data, but it's a method that works. This
tip is applicable to just about any type of data: documents, graphics, etc..
