How to open .arc file

Question

I have a Contacts.arc file which took from a nokia phone as a back-up of contacts.Now my mobile is lost and i want to see some numbers.Is there any application to open .arc file in ubuntu?. I searched in google but didn't get any answer.

Solution

You may be able to use NbuExplorer (an open-source Windows application) to view the contents of the file.

I was able to run it in Ubuntu by installing the Mono Visual Basic Compiler (VB.NET) (sudo apt-get install mono-vbnc) and then running mono NbuExplorer.exe. I don't have an .arc file to test this any further.
