Default WAB problem with replaced addresses

Groups neither import nor export. If you still have access to the old
machine, there is a workaround.

Create a "standalone" WAB file:

Then open your default address book to the group desired and select all
member of the group and copy them to the clipboard (Ctrl+A selects all,
Ctrl+C copies them to the clipboard). Then open your "standalone" WAB file
and paste the contacts into that file (you will have to hit the Enter key to
OK each entry but it beats typing) and then either copy that wab file to a
floppy disc or export it as CSV file. Otherwise, folders and groups neither
import, nor export.

The export feature was used on my old PC to transfer addresses to my new
PC
(same versions) and the old replaced addresses came along for the ride

When the email group wsa used all addresses old and new went out

Why?
