Ms. Ringdahl, I was going to point you to section 7 of the Cookbook to get instructions on using the free application, xt, to do the conversion, but section 7 isn't there anymore. I must not have been paying attention when the Cookbook was changed. There has been a lot of discussion about this on the list. (You may wish to see the archives at http://listserv.loc.gov/listarch/ead.html). Two people who helped me with the problem were Marsha Maguire ( [log in to unmask] ) and Michael Fox ( [log in to unmask] ). Some of this help was off-list, and unfortunately I can't find those email messages anymore. I recommend you email them. I'm sure they can help you.

I am following the Cookbook 7.2.1. When i get to 7.2.2 I am unable to save the file. What am I doing wrong? I should mention that I had an ambitious computer student last year who designed his own conversion program. He is now graduated and the conversion program has disappeared. Thanks for your help..
