Hi Martin

The ~(Tilde) phenomenon is a bug in Outlook Express and is a copy of the =
Address Book after it has been updated. You can delete those.

It's a bug in a recent OE update.
It's the backup of the Address Book that should have been named *.wa~ and
placed in the same Windows folder as your *.wab Address Book file.
