Transfering Aim Names from one user to another?

Anyone know if there's a way to transfer all of your contacts from one AIM name to another without having to reenter all of them all over again? I've got two aim names that I need to share contacts between for work and home. Any help doing this would be greatly welcome. Thanks.
 
The AIM client has a backup function which can be accessed through My Aim->Save Buddy List, and selecting only the Buddy List. Once you save it, log in using the other user name and, you guessed it, My Aim->Load Buddy List.
 
Ok, good. Thanks for the info.

Only one catch. I use Trillian pro on my windows box and Gaim on my bsd box. How would I do it via those?
 
AIM buddy lists are currently stored on AOL's servers. When you install Trillian, it retrieves them for you. The same goes for GAIM, provided that you are using a relatively recent version. Essentially, just run GAIM on your BSD box, let it log in, and it should get your buddies automagically.
 
Yep, that's already done. But what I need is to give my user list over to another aim user using another aim name. That's what i was trying to get at. Sorry if I confused you.
