I've just had a cursory look at PrimaSoft's web site (https://www.primasoft.com/librarymanager/marc_search.htm) and it looks like it won't even import MARC (much less export it) -- the company runs a free service to convert MARC files into a format HLM can import.
It looks as though you can export bibliographic data in table form (https://www.primasoft.com/librarymanager/export-library-data-to-spreadsheet-program.htm ), though I'm not sure whether/how you can export borrower data. There are ways to convert bibliographic data in table form to MARC (you might want to look at MARCEdit (https://marcedit.reeset.net/translating-excel-data-to-marc) to help massage your data into MARC).

If HLM can export bibliographic records in some type of MARC format, and other data in CSV, I think you should be able to convert your data and import it into Koha. There is a section on data migration in the manual: https://koha-community.org/manual/20.11/en/html/implementation_checklist.html#data-migration Good luck!
