GroupWise, being a propriaty product of Novell, is in itself a rather
closed environment. I have for a while tried to get anything in or
out of it and there seems to be some way of getting to the e-mail
using IMAP (hope I get all these terms right :). The best
"Substitute" e-mail program I found is - and I hate myself for
actually admitting it - MS Outlook Express 5 ;-). But I was unable to
get to the addressbok of the appointment scheduler using Outlook. I
have also not found any way in GroupWise to export anything, but
then, I have probably not looked hard enough. If one could get the
stuff exported in one or other way, one could also get it re-imported
into NCU (comma separated values (CSV) or something in that
direction). But, as I said, I could not find anything.

If I wasn't so lazy, I would dig myself into Newton documentation and
start programming, but ... but ... ;)

No, the one port is for sending out my 0.02 (currency irrelevant)
worth and the other is to talk sh... oops :)
