<hangs head in shame>I used Gator for quite a while to store logins and passwords. I've gotten rid of it in favor of KeyWallet, but I would like to somehow extract all those 100s of logins I've let Gator track.</hangs head in shame>

Early versions of Gator let you see what sites the software had tracked. Customer service reps at Gator assured me early on that their next version would let me see the actual login names and passwords...so I kept using it...adding more and more info until I came to depend on Gator to get my work done.

Of course now, Gator has eliminated the ability for users to find out what sites they have information for...Users like myself who became dependent on the software are now stuck! So, my question is, is there any way to extract login and password data from a .gat file? I'd like to recover some of that info.

Did I get it right in round 2?
It's easy to get it from the browser (you can thank MS:)
There is bunch of utils for windows that will do that for you.
here is one -http://www.iopus.com/password_recovery.htm

bartek, you are very talented...you nailed it! Thank you for kick-starting my brain! Good call on the iopus soft.

Gator didn't remove the listing of sites it tracked, it just moved them to a slightly less obvious place. Thanks bartek!
