Please reply to the listserv if possible, because although we have not tried this particular stylesheet, we are having similar issues with another stylesheet. Thanks, Jay Jay Gaidmore The Library of Virginia [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Encoded Archival Description List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jordan Patty Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 1:17 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: EAD to MARC conversion Mark, I've finally installed the MARCEdit program and worked with conversion. I've had trouble using your stylesheet. When I convert from my xml file to MARCXML, a file with the *mrc extension does not appear in the destination folder. The other EAD to MARCXML stylesheets work that came with the MARCEdit program. Is there something different about your stylesheet, or maybe the XML files I'm using don't have all the correct coding to work with your stylesheets.
