This is one of those times when I'm pretty sure MarcEdit can do what I
want, but I have no idea how to make it happen.

I have two large sets of MARC records (about 20k records) One is the
Springer ebooks  records issued by Springer, the other is the
OCLC-supplied records for the same ebooks.

There are several things I want to do with the OCLC set, but first I
want to find out how many records are unique to only one set.  Some
records will only be in the Springer set, and I suspect there will be
records in the OCLC set that are not in the Springer set as well.

How can I do this comparison?  The ISBN number from the Springer
record is usually in the corresponding OCLC record for the same book,
though the OCLC records have additional ISBNs for other editions.
