Hi
Also before export the omnis sequence connections would need to be mapped.
I have some code to do this somewhere without the library file.
Assuming the disk doubler issue is overcome, if that is the issue, I can do
this for you if someone has an old 7.1.4 developer for windows.
Regards
Stephen Miller
PS: Obviously no-one will do this without proof of ownership of the data
and consent in writing to extract the data
