After having NOT 'exported' the existing
Address Book from Outlook Express, and only
copying the .wab file to a backup, I reinstalled
Win 98SE OK, then the Security Updates.

I wanted to use the 'old' address book in the
new installation, but since I didn't do it the
correct way (exporting first), I only have the
.wab file. My attempts at replacing the
new-install .wab with the backup and then
loading OE, the Address Book does not show.

Is there any other way to recover the contents
of the .wab file so that it can be used with the
new installation?
