I got this code from Andrus Moor a long time ago - it may work:

FUNCTION GENTOFIL( lcFieldname,lcFilename )

lcTempfile=SYS(3)						&& Assign temporary file name
COPY TO (lcTempfile) FIELDS (lcFieldname) NEXT 1                && Copy General field data to it  
liHandlein=FOPEN(lcTempfile+".FPT")				&& Open its .FPT 

*--Examine .FPT contents to determine type of embedded document

FSEEK(liHandlein, ??? )
liEndOffset= ???
liSize=FSIZE(lcTempfile+".FPT")-liEndOffset     && Determine data size
liHandleout=FCREATE(lcFilename+"."+lcExtension) && Create output file
FWRITE(liHandleout,FREAD(liHandlein,liSize))	&& Copy data to it
FCLOSE(liHandlein)						&& Close the temporary .FPT..
FCLOSE(liHandleout)						&& ...and the output file
ERASE (m.lcTempfile)
