Peter, There may be another way, though I have yet to explore it. The SAS System Viewer is free and you may distribute it royalty free: http://www.sas.com/apps/demosdownloads/sassysview_PROD_8.2_sysdep.jsp?packageID=000176 "Files Supported by the SAS System Viewer The SAS System Viewer lets you view the following types of SAS files: Read Only * 7.00 Data Sets created under the windows environment (sas7bdat, sd7, sd2, ssd, ssd0x, saseb$data) * 6.06 - 6.12 Catalogs - Directory Information Only (sc2, sct, sct0x, saseb$catalog) * 3.2.2 JMP(r) Data Sets - Macintosh and Windows (jmp) * 6.12 MDDB - Multi-dimensional Data Base Files (sm2) * SAS Transport Files (stx, xpt) * SAS Log Files (log) * SAS List Files (lst) Read and Write Enabled * Comma Delimited Files (csv) * Space Delimited Files (prn) * Text Based Files (sas, dat, cfg, html)" Whether you can copy and paste will be key.
