Thanks for the pointer to USEMARCON. I hadn't heard about it, and the topic of UNIMARC/MARC21 has definitely come up in the past. > Would perl wrappers around the toolkit be something worth considering? Good idea! I just downloaded it. It does have a license agreement, which would have to be looked at pretty closely, but it seems pretty lenient at first glance. It's c++ so it should be fast, and would be a nice experiment in building a Perl wrapper. Any takers? I bought Extending and Embedding Perl [1] last year, and have been looking for a good excuse to use it :) //Ed [1] http://www.manning.com/jenness/ -- Ed Summers aim: inkdroid web: http://www.inkdroid.org Any fool can write code that a computer can understand.
