UPDATES:

2003-05-30 Modified by Jon Nelson (quincy@linuxnotes.net) to be 
           compatiable with SquirrelMail 1.4.
         
           Created this README.

INSTALL:

Backend for personal addressbook stored in a database,
accessed using the DB-classes in PEAR. Follow the instructions
in doc/db-backend.txt to get that setup. 

When you've got that done copy the tar.gz to plugins/ directory 
and:

  tar zxvf abook_group.tar.gz 

You'll need to create an addressgroups table in your database. 
The table used should have the following columns:

    Columns   | Type | Modifier
--------------+------+----------
 owner        | text |
 nickname     | text |
 addressgroup | text |
 type         | text |

The pair (owner,nickname, addressgroup, type) should be unique.

Type comes in when you have two different types of address book:
abook_database.php
abook_global_database.php

The (owner,nickname) pair is the unique reference to the addressbook
of the owner.
