It's only very difficult if the table is encrypts -and- you don't actually
know the password.  I would add that if one knows the password and simply
needs to remove it from an encrypted table for future use, one should:

1) Set ABE=ASCII in the environment.
2) Load the table in *cabe.
3) Save the table in *cabe.
4) Follow the rest of Nancy's instructions.
