BBDB is a rolodex-like database program for GNU Emacs. BBDB stands for Insidious Big Brother Database. BBDB is written by: Jamie Zawinski <jwz@mcom.com>. My current version is 1.50.
We have prepared a family of filters for BBDB. Currently the output filters include:
- bbdb --> emacs lisp exporting (for exchanging business cards)
- bbdb --> HP100/200 LX Phone Book
- bbdb --> PC Eudora Nicknames
- bbdb --> CC Mail Nicknames
- bbdb --> PH/QI
There is presently only one input filter:
- bbdb <-- UNIX passwd files
We hope that over time a variety of other input and output filters will be added to this collection.
bbdb-export in particular, can be very useful over the net. It provides a convenient way for exchanging business cards.
This is a preliminary release. This stuff has not been tested much outside of our office. We do use most of these filters on an going basis and they work fine for us.
To install, just edit the makefile and run "make install".
To run them, read the comments on top of each filter file.
There is very skimpy documentation in latexinfo format. It is just meant to be a starting point.
In addition to the attached shar file,
you can also ftp this package from:
//anonymous@ftp.neda.com:/pub/eoe/bbdbPlus/bbdb-filters-0.2.tar URL = ftp://ftp.neda.com/pub/eoe/bbdbPlus/bbdb-filters-0.2.tar
Many of the filters require bbdb-tex-print package by: Boris Goldowsky <boris@prodigal.psych.rochester.edu>.
The one that we use can be found in:
//anonymous@ftp.neda.com:/pub/eoe/bbdbPlus/bbdb-tex-3.0.tar
URL = ftp://ftp.neda.com/pub/eoe/bbdbPlus/bbdb-tex-3.0.tar
You can checkout the overview of this package by browsing the manual (latex/info/html) at: URL = http://www.neda.com/eoe/bbdbFilters/bbdbFilters.html
