Exporting saved hands Is it possible?

Am I able to export saved hands, preferably to BRI, PBN, DLM or LIN?
I have saved about 250 hands (and the play), and I'd like an efficient process to get them into a dealing machine. I'm aware that I can save the play, etc by exporting a handviewer url (very awesome feature).
I'm also wondering if the new BBO (HTML not flash) will still have all the hands I've saved?
Thanks,
John

Access them with a query on the Bridge Base hands web site - very painful since you can only get one lin at a time unless you write or use a crawler - I havent had much success downloading in bulk from that site
You can download Double Dummy Solver. That allows you to download a whole month of hands at a time - although its missing the Daylongs I believe. This is the best bulk download I have used
You can access them using Bridge Solver either through a browser or an app on a phone
You can store them each day into folders. Very painstakingly
Hopefully one day the service will be available via the site or third party, including the Daylong hands. Im sure there would be a reasonable demand for it. Downloading a zip file of LIN files would be good
Double Dummy Solve and Bridge Solver are the best I have seen to date

Yes. One of the advantages of this system over the way it was done in the Windows app is that hands are saved on our server, they're not in files that are specific to the client.
In the HTML version, click on Account, then go to Deal Archive (you may have to widen the sidebar to see this, it's to the right of Convention Cards).

Hurray good stuff. And you can export hands you have watched on vugraph too.

I see how to import a lin file ass before but I have not got to the stage of finding how to export a lin file or any file from BBO.
I see how to save hands to BBO folders or Delete a folder or send to another member.
However getting files onto my hard drive seems beyond me and beyond the new trial version of BBO or the flash version
No big deal for me as my old BBO is still functioning
Thanks

You can download from the vugraph archive and make a lin. I am downloading the Bermuda bowl for example converting it to PBN and loading it into another program so I can play the hands and compare the results.

You can play the bermuda bowl by going to Casual > Start a table > Start a vugraph table and selecting the match you wish to replay from the deal source options.

EG This one where I opened 2♣ as a weak(ish) 2C bid and ended with the robots putting me in a makeable 5C https://tinyurl.com/y5gc6kfb. GIB says -2 but contract made - go figure...

Not exactly a tiny url, but it is indeed all there.
Makeable is an overbid, looks like -2 doubled when they have only 1♠...
