OK, it can only import vCard or LDIF files so I need to find out how to:
1. export my Eudora address book as one of those file types
2. export my Mac AOL 10.3 address book, ditto
3. export my Mac AOL 5 address book, ditto
I've looked but I must be missing where this info is located.
AOL *deliberately* makes it next to impossible to export their address book so as to keep you a prisoner to them. Disgusting.
Anyway, there is a tool called AOL Address Extractor which works in OS 9 (I don't know about Classic) and extracts the address book into a delimited text file. From there you can easily find converters to vCards or LDIF files which Address Book can read.
On the PC side of things (and perhaps on the OS X Mac side of things too?), your address book is actually stored or mirrored on AOL's server, so when you move to another machine/version of AOL, the address book is already there. I was delighted to find this out when helping a friend switch from PC to Mac ... I was anticipating a long and awful export/import thing and instead I simply fired up AOL for OS X and there was his address book and mail from his PC all ready to go!
(Doesn't help you with the exporting, I know, but just a tip for others!)
As for Eudora, I feel very sure that there's a utility out there on one of the usual download suspects that can do this ...
