Yes, it seems to work but there are bugs in the way.
I did it myself when I bought my Newton in 99. 700 names were exported.
But interestingly enough when I create a "call" in DATES and use the
feature "get from names", I get a list where mostly the names that were
created on the Newton appear, some don't appear at all, and very few of
the ones exported show up (regardless of having been re-edited on the
Newton).
And still more interesting, using RCU shows a similarly bizarre
alphabetical order, where the exported names appear first, as if an
invisible character existed before the name, despite of being a coherent
list when viewed in the Newton. Sorting by last or first name doesn't
change this occurrence.
Would someone know a reason/cure for it? Or am I missing anything?
