I seem to recall that I replied to this gentleman already. I
don't have a less blunt way to tell him that his answers are:
1. Make a smaller address book or a larger swapfile. It's Netscape being a
pig and we can't do anything about it.
2a. Currently unlikely.
2b. Extremely highly unlikely, due to licensing disputes.
I am open to suggestions on how to phrase this from anyone else on the
list.
