Can you guide me on how to set this up?  Should I be using one of the 
single files, with the LBD data either embedded or interleaved, or a 
pair where one is the main titles and the other is the extracted LBD? 
And is it possible to put more than one tag number in the "Control 
field" box? (I tried "500,505,520" on a test file and it didn't think 
any were duplicates, even though I know there are some cases in there I 
would want to catch. Entering "500" alone with the setup otherwise the 
same resulted in output that I think I understand.)
