Hi,

  Before I had OS/2, I used MS-Windows and the utilities it had (cardfile,
notepad, calendar, etc.) to store quite a lot of information. (I run a Fidonet
BBS and use the cardfile to keep track of my BBS user's names, addresses, etc.)

  Now that I have OS/2, I would like COMPATIBLE programs.  In other words,
I would like to take all my data currently in MS-Windows Cardfile / Calendar 
/ etc. and use those files directly with applications that run under OS/2.

  Are there any OS/2 utilities compatible with the MS-Windows utilities?  If
not, does anyone know the file formats for the various MS-Windows utilities
so I can attempt to write my own versions of the programs?

ADVthanksANCE
