[WEB4LIB] Converting OCLC tape records

[Dan Lester]

Have you asked OCLC for an alternative format?  I'd be amazed if they 
couldn't give them to you on CDROM, DVDROM, DAT, or something else.  They 
might also be able to FTP it to you.  You might have to pay again......

I'd also bet that someone at Columbia could do it for you....and so could a 
whole host of service bureaus that are in the phonebook.

cheers
