This README describes a couple of few hacks to convert EAD files to
MARC records.

  * README - This file
  
  * LICENSE - This distribution is provided under the GNU Public License
  
  * bin/ead2marcxml.sh - Using xsltproc and a modified version of Terry
    Reese's XSL stylesheet, converts all the EAD/.xml files in the current
    directopry into MARCXML files.
  
  * bin/marcxml2marc.sh - Using yaz-marcdump, convert all .marcxml files
    in the current directory into MARC records.
  
  * bin/add-001.pl - A hack to add 001 fields to MARC records. Sometimes
    necessary since the EAD files do note have unique identifiers.
  
  * etc/* - EAD DTD, stylesheet, and support files.

These scripts have made my life easier. Maybe they can make your's easier
too.
