Do you need to compare the two files together and get the unique files or find the unique records in each individual file? If it's the unique records between the two files, you could join the two files with MARC Join, and then open the file in the MarcEditor and select the Record Deduplication tool. If you have it print the Unique items, that will give you the items without any duplicate entry.
If you want the duplicates in individual files -- you should just do the above process (without the join) on each file.
What strikes me is I probably should pull this function out so that you don't need to run it solely in the MarcEditor.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Comparing files
I'm looking for the easiest way of isolating the unique records in two large-ish files of MARC records (about 22k).
I'm anticipating that about 90% of the records will be duplicated, but need to identify which are unique to each file.
Is there a way to use MarcEdit for this? Or perhaps another utility is better suited?
Thanks for any help!
