Maybe I'm missing something silly - but how do I run MARConvert?
Maybe I'm missing something silly - but how do I run MARConvert?
We have downloaded MARCView and it works fine, but we actually wanted MARConvert ... but there doesn't seem to be anything indicating that this can be downloaded.
MARConvert information says it has all of the features of MARCView, inferring that it's another programme, but where is it ?
It does seem stupid posting such a simple question - but then there's not a lot of members of this group (3 + admin) : and this is the first post after the description of the group itself 286 days ago !!

MarcConvert
Hi!
I would like to ge the application Marc Convert for Conversion of BASIS TechLib records into MARC21 bibliographic and holdings records.
What I have to do to get it?
Thanks for your time.
Nunyo.
The source code as well as
The source code as well as help documentation is available via the Subversion repository - http://worldcat.org/devnet/code/MARCView-Convert/trunk/documentation/ You'll have to build the application yourself to customize it to do the type of conversion you want.
Installing MARConvert
Because of MARConvert's high level of customizability, the program is designed to be built from the source to meet each library's individual needs.
As a result, we are not distributing an executable of it at. It is built from the same source code as MARCView. The source code as well as help documentation is available via the Subversion repository - http://worldcat.org/devnet/code/MARCView-Convert/trunk/documentation/
Thank you for the response,
Thank you for the response, I've learnt two things:
- I don't get an email when someone comments on my post ...
- MARConvert could be viewed as more of a toolkit than a utility
All we were looking for was a more simply installable utility to convert from MARC-8 to UTF-8. Our current solution comprises .bat script, yaz_toolkit and a Perl executable implementation of charlint.
I had hoped that MARCView would have a "Save As ..." option that would allow selection of encoding for the resulting file.
We've updated the latest version of the target application anyway so it can handle MARC-8 and therefore the requirement is reducing.
