extract/export audioclips

[Ivers, Doug E]

What are my options for extracting audioclips from an old HyperCard stack into separate .wav files?  (I'm working on a Mac.)

I tried using the old "SoundApp" utility, but it was only able to extract 9 out of the 120 snds.  This was the error:  An unexpected error (ID=-38, File Manager - file not open - fnOpnErr) has occurred.
