How can I access a SAS systems file and save it in Excel

[pmw101]

I have a SAS systems file (labelled and formatted data) I no longer have
access to SAS, but would still like to access and save the data using Excel.
Any hints?

JMP and S-PLUS both will read SAS datasets. I don't think that R has
that functionality yet. I understand that SAS offers a data viewer, but
I don't know if you can copy and paste from it.

Here is a link to download the SAS viewer

Some threads in SAS newsgroups suggest that you may be able to
copy/paste from it.
