I suppose so.  It is a purely independant effort.  The ruling feature was
use of WAB, because I am fed up of every communications program under the
sun using a new kind of address book.

Hopefully soon, they will all use the MAPI styled OS provided WAB.

But, no doubt Horst's is more mature, but for me WAB is the essential
feature.

I am happy to combine with other projects.
