We recently received a catalog from Gaylord which offers a product
called "Internet Archivist Software."  The catalog claims that this package
"makes it possible to encode yuour finding aids to the Enclosed Archival
Standard without having to compile complex files."

Our unit is at the very beginning of the process of implementing EAD and
on the surface this product would appear to be very useful.  Before we
spend the $595 to purchase it, however, we would like to know how well it
works.

Has anyone on the List had any experience with this product?  What are its
strengths, weaknesse?  Is it worth purchasing?

Thanks.
