It's a cheat, but it works. Open the page you want in IE, and open
Excel. Copy the information from IE, paste into Excel. Then you can use
Excel to manipulate it and save it as a text file, or save it as a dbf
file, whichever is better for you.
I do not think this will work with any other browser except IE. Of
course, I could be wrong.
