Greetings.

I am not a regular reader of this group, but I have a question
that has been bothering me for some time, and I hope
you don't mind if I ask it, and humbly request a response via Email:

How can I extract text from my hypercard stacks, for downloading 
onto a mainframe ?  My naive guess was to write a report
out to disk, and dump the file via Kermit, but, as you've probably
guessed, HyperCard won't write a report out to disk.  I figure 
there must be a utility to perform the extraction function.
Can someone name one that I might be able to FTP anonymously ?

Your help is very much appreciated,


take care,

ejs
