Hi Phill, I have moved catalog data from DB Textworks to Koha onto an online shared catalog, which you can see at http://www.infocat.org.au To move the data, I needed to transform it into USMarc format. For that transformation, I used 'Marc Transformer' a package I purchased from local DB Textworks suppliers in Melbourne. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about this.

Hi, I would love to hear from anyone who has moved data from Db/Textworks and Procite to Koha, I am migrating our 2 libraries who currently use these 2 software packages to one instance of Koha.

Cheers

Hi Phill I'm planning to move from DB/Textworks to Koha. We have about 10K books & videos and countless serials. We plan to export the catalog to a comma delimited file, then write a Perl script to convert to MARC format. Part of the problem is that one record in DBTextworks can contain multiple book barcode numbers. I'd be happy to work with you on the Perl scripts.
