Thanks you two but I don't have access to Windoze,
so back to my main question can I open the .wab on my ubuntu desktop with some linux program - is there a way ??

I don't have access to windows so can I do it under linux? I just want to see the names & phone numbers nothing
fancy is required.

When I switched from Windoze ,well actually migrated to Thunderbird while still
locked into an MS OS, I just exported my old to a CSV and then imported it into
Thunderbird. You just need to match the fields. As for the .wab format it's
cryptic.
