Bill,

Take a look at Handling MARC with PERL at
<http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue7/marc/#fn5>.

Or "MARC Record Translation Program" at
<http://willow.canberra.edu.au/~jlt/marc.html>.

For sure look at the DataMagician (TM) translation software home page at
<http://www.folland.com/>. DataMagician 1.5 is currently a DOS utility
(but real sick!), although the author is working on a Windows version.

One of these might be of interest or help.

Cheers,
