+# tsv2vcard
+
+Quick and dirty script to convert SXMO's contacts TSV file to vCard
+format for importing into other programs.  Used Chez scheme when
+developing but should be portable to other R6RS implementations.
+
+Run like:
+
+```sh
+scheme --script tsv2vcard.scm < contacts.tsv > contacts.vcf
+```
