If it's an Amiga, then you can use things like SnipIt to grab the numbers you want for a chart… 🙂 Far too often, companies have gone to CD and proprietary driver / access programs *PRECISELY* because they want to protect their data – when Tandy's Thor hits, (read/write CD-ROM drives to the rest of y'all) don't you think some of the steam will be taken from CD in general? Won't there be lots of backlash against common file formats, precisely because people want to protect their data? For example, NEC has a great disk of 3D models, it's out, it's shipping now. However, all it exports is 2D clip art, of shaded views of the object. No 3D export, because they want to protect their data. If some company has gone to the trouble of making 600 meg of fine, distilled data, do they want to give it away?
