Node Extraction

Greetings from Idaho !

I need to extract node locations (easting and northing) from a vector
file for some stream segmentation work. Any slick ways of doing this?

I wound up exporting an ASCII DLG file, extracting the first line of the
node records, "awk"ing out the coordinate pairs and creating a file in
the site_lists directory. There may be a better way ??!!

Any comments appreciated.
