I have posted a preliminary version of a MARC::File::MARCMaker module, based on MARC.pm's functionality for working with MARCMaker/MARCBreaker format files. The new module is in very preliminary form and has not really been tested at all, other than to see that it compiles and is able to read a .mrk format file and print out raw MARC (using MARC::Record::as_usmarc) format records.

Since the module is not really ready for use, I have placed it on my site in the inprocess directory, at:
<http://home.inwave.com/eija/inprocess/>


I welcome comments and suggestions. The TODO.txt file explains some known issues.

Regarding the UTF-8 discussion, I'm limited to MacOS 9.2.2 on my development computer, which means being restricted to Perl 5.8.0 (alpha?). As a result, MARC::File::MARCMaker may not necessarily support UTF/Unicode any time soon.

Thank you for your assistance,

Bryan Baldus
