Export Mail Address to GroupWise

Question

Hello,
I have a customer at Santa Clara University who wants to change from a Mac to a PC go figure! He is currently using Apple Mail and wants to export his e-mail addresses to GroupWise (Novell) on the PC. Can you tell me what he would need to do in order to export his addresses? I know GroupWise is a proprietary e-mail application, but what about maybe into Entourage or Outlook? Is there even a script the customer can run?
Can someone let me know.
Thank you
Phil

I updated the script. It now creates a text file on your Desktop. Simple open "Apple Script Editor", cut & paste this into the text area and hit the Run button.
set the_file to ((path to desktop as text) & "test.txt")
set crlf to (ASCII character 13) & (ASCII character 10)
try
set dataStream to open for access file the_file with write permission
set eof of dataStream to 0
tell application "Address Book"
repeat with aPerson in people
log ("Person : " & name of aPerson)
repeat with anEmail in emails of aPerson
log ("eMail : " & value of anEmail)
write ("<"" & crlf) to dataStream as text
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
close access file the_file
on error
try
log ("Error")
close access file the_file
end try
end try
