It is not possible within MemoQ 10.6.8 to export a term base as a tab delimited .txt file. The options for export are: CSV, XLSX or Multiterm XML
Are there any other tools I can use to automatically convert any of *those* to a delimited .txt glossary?

Open the File menu and select the Save as... command. In the Save as type drop-down box, select the Text (tab delimited) (*. txt) option. Select the Save button. If you see warning messages pop up, select the OK or Yes button.

Right click the termbase you want to export, select Export Terminology. Uncheck the fields you don't want to export (if any) and click the ellipses button in the upper right corner. Select 'Tab-separated text file (*.txt)' That's it.

I wonder why Kilgray said this

Interesting. I didn't, as I had been explicitly told by MemoQ support that MemoQ does not allow this. I wonder why they would say this. Perhaps they view 'terminology' as being somehow inferior to a 'term base'.
