Like it was said earlier, use the export command for Abacus.  I think 
Archive has an export command too. If it does not, then put use print 
statements to get the data out in a format like this:

12324,1234,"text","text",1234,1234,"text"

Comma's between fields and text is quoted.

  Exported files are in Comma Seperated format or CSV for Comma Seperated 
Variables.  Most PC spreadsheets and databases can read a CSV format.
