Subject: DataMover 1.1.3 -- move data between stacks and other databases
Although Hypercard by its very nature is structured as a database, there
has been no universal way to move data back and forth between Hypercard
and other databases until now. DataMover is designed to move data
between Hypercard stacks and databases such as FileMaker or Palm
applications like JFile or HanDBase or even a MS Word table or Excel
file. With this stack you can extract data from any other stack into a
text file, with user-defined field and record delimiters. Such text
files (the most commonly used type of which is the CSV or
"comma-separated values" format) can be read or imported by FileMaker or
Excel or converted by easily available applications to your favorite
Palm database format. DataMover can also import data from CSV files (or
similar text files using other delimiters) generated by any database
into any suitably designed Hypercard stack. Now any data you find can be
put into a stack, or vice versa!
In fact, you can also transfer data from one stack to another. Export
data from selected fields in one stack as a delimited text file, then
import some or all of it into a second stack. DataMover allows you to
move data between any two stacks even very different stacks.

Requires Hypercard 2.3+, works on System 7.0+. PPC processor will be
faster, but not required.
Should go in Data Management
