How can I open a vcf file?

Exporting records into VCF (techtor, easterangel)

• …A special thanks to techtor and easterangel for their quality work. Is there a simple software that can transfer records from MS Office application to export them in a Virtual Card File (VCF) format? I am looking for a software that can take data from an MS XL, Outlook, or even a text file; and transfer all the records inside this file into VCF’s.

It costs less than $10.

I think it’s for the PDA though (which would include the Palm). This is a demo version available at Tucows. I couldn’t determine the actual price, though. And I could download it on my Win98 PC.
