All good, Paul. No issue w/ using other tools. Just figured MarcEdit
has a pretty robust set of capabilities, so if we can do everything
from one place, why not? -- esp. if we can then also take advantage of
task lists, etc.
That said, as the Director at a very small library, I wouldn't say
time for learning tools like Perl, PowerGrep, etc. is exactly
plentiful.
