Terry,

Thanks again for your untiring generosity on this project, and hope
your son's treatments went well.

We had a past discussion on my difficulties in creating a
"round-tripping" routine between MARC and CSV; getting this in place
would be very helpful for me (and I'm sure others), and I believe the
above improvement might help with this? Please confirm, and if
possible, could you expand a bit on the Excel bit you mentioned?

Perhaps you could include this detail when you're doing your videos?
Obviously only if you think it would be generally useful. . .

=====================

Thanks again,

Hans
