Apologies if this message is inappropriate for this list, but I could 
not find a feedback/contact address on the MARCXML page.

I am trying to test Marc to Unicode character conversion using the 
MARCXML Toolkit found at 
http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/index.html.  Aside from the fact 
that the documentation is sparse (to be generous), there seems to be an 
error in invoking the Unicode conversion scheme.  On the command line, 
calling the UnicodeConverter method results in a NoSuchMethodError:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.marc4j.util.MarcWriter.setCharacterConverter(Z)V
            at gov.loc.marc.UnicodeConverter.main(Unknown Source)

Can anyone tell me if a.) this is a known bug, b.) I'm calling the wrong 
method, c.) there is a work-around, d.) who I can contact to ask about 
this (who is the programmer responsible?), or e.) if I should look for 
another solution.

Thanks in advance and apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.
