Actually, the full viJournal has export capability, albeit not in the most intuitive manner. You have to select all the desired entries in the Browser and then select Save A Copy As... which will allow you your RTF format.

Would be nice to have a one stop function for this.

Also, the native file format is rtfd, although it also keeps other files in the package.

Right-click on the ".vjentry" package for a date, click "Show Contents", and note the *.rtfd files there. The first entry for a date gets a nice name on the file, while any subsequent sessions get hashcode names. If you wanted to retrieve the titles for the secondary sessions, you'd look in the _vj_sessions_info.plist file right there in the package (plist is a standard XML data format file; easily read by hand or by computer).

IMHO, since it's just a package, all the contents are fully accessible using basic OS commands. That makes it just as future-proof as plain old rtf/rtfd files. It'd take a little script programming to make into whatever format you're more comfortable with, but no need for the creating application at all.
