Dear list members, Apparently Corel has recently released XMetaL version 4.0, and I see at the Corel web site that there are four "components" available: XMetaL Author, Developer, Central, and XMetaL for ActiveX. I wrote an XMetaL EAD input template for the Northwest Digital Archives union database project using XMetaL version 3.0, and I'm wondering, for version 4.0, which of these components should be purchased/used by consortium members (several institutions in the consortium are buying XMetaL for the first time). In addition to creating finding aid documents in EAD version 2002 (using the template prepared for the project), participants probably will want to do customizations of the input screen and maybe write fairly simple macros. Does anyone on the list have experience with XMetaL 4.0? Would XMetaL Author be sufficient for most finding aid creators? Many thanks!
