Details on AOL's Personal File Cabinet

New page

==Overview==
The America Online software stores email and web bookmarks (also known as "favorites") in a file known as the PFC (Personal Filing Cabinet) format.
The format is different between Mac and PC versions apparently. The extension is either .pfc or nothing- see [http://astroblahhh.com/software/tips/aol-pfc-files-and-how-to-convert-them-for-free.shtml#how-i-used-pfc-viewer-to-export-my-mail here] for some details on the extension.

==Tools==
[http://home.roadrunner.com/~ernieyu/pfcviewer/index.htm PFC-Viewer] Java tool that can view and export emails from Personal Filing Cabinets. Source code available here: [https://github.com/ernieyu/pfcviewer https://github.com/ernieyu/pfcviewer] or here: [http://home.roadrunner.com/~ernieyu/pfcviewer/pfcview-0.5-src.jar http://home.roadrunner.com/~ernieyu/pfcviewer/pfcview-0.5-src.jar]
