My kind thanks to everyone for their very helpful and informative replies
on this question.
Over time we've dealt with a few things viz. MARC and XML, and I was not
sure-- in teh XML MARC SOftware thread I don't know if a truly sublime and
see-spot-run easy tool which round trips was mentioned (I'm using it and
XSLT to populate an 856 field via automated lookups our Oracle DBA is
doing in PL/SQL). It's called marcxml.exe, and is Windows only, but free
and will recalculate MARC from records modified in XML , thus allowing an
XSLT transformation of MARC records. It's great tool you can find it at:

Have fun, feel free to nag me for details and documents . . .
thanks again!!
