Hi Terry,

I tried the new merge feature with a file of 879 records.  Two records 
didn't merge and the differences were:

Record #1 had an 008/23 of o instead of s and had CAPITALIZED first 
letters of each word in the 245 $b.

Record #2 had an 008/23 of o instead of s, a 245$a variation.

It seems this verifies that the merge match did what you said it would.  
Very exact matching.  I think it would be great to turn some of those on 
or off if I was trying to match and just add an 856 or some content 
notes, but it's still a nice addition to this awesome tool!

Thanks very much and Happy New Year to all!
Tim
