If anyone is using Jason Casden's datenorm perl script from the EAD help
pages, and knows how to tweak it so it does not expand entities, please
let me know.  I suspect it's quite simple -- involving either NoExpand
or set_expand_external_entities perhaps? -- but am getting very vexed
with my own feeble attempts.  (I did email Jason, who has been very
helpful in the past, but haven't heard from him; he may be on vacation
or something...)

Thanks

Michele
