Default Importing *.dat file

My work computer has Outlook 2000 & an HP T-45 Officejet which is slowly
dying. I want to import my fax & phone numbers list from the HP Address Book
into my Outlook Contacts. Any way that can be accomplished? The file name is
hpojaddr.dat

Thanx in advance.

In what forms can the Officejet address book be exported? Find one that
matches one of the forms that Outlook can import. The most likely candidate
will be a comma-separated values file (CSV).

I have found no way to export the Officejet phone book. The interface is
very very basic and there are no drop menus to it... I can see the list, I
can search it, I can edit it or I can print it. That's it.

What do you see when you open the .dat file in Wordpad? Is it structured enough that you can manually massage it into a .csv format?
