    Eudora's addressbook is just plain text with an index in a recource fork.
    Open the addressbook in BBEdit, change the format to DOS and save it as a
    text file called nndbase.txt. Move the file to the PC and use Outlook
    Express's own addressbook import which lists Eudora as one of the supported
    formats (ignore the bit about 3.0 and earlier, it should still work).
