Re: AW 6.2.9 (runs from OSX10.5.8) Do AW->"save as"->ASCII TEXT

The DB will then be saved as "tab delimited text" which can be
read/converted by Excel or any other DB app..
MyAppleWorks runs under 10.5.8 but I have to double-click
the file not launch AW and use open
So if you change all your files on an old box or older OS you can
then use all the data without re-typing.
