As a matter of fact (instead of trying to solve problems with the 
current Kohadevbox, another task) I was right now downloading Marcedit. 
I tried it maybe five years ago and hda no use for it then (and as a 
Linuxite I didn't like the Windows/Wine-dependency). But everything has 
changed now and I'll give it another try... Then it was just one of many 
tools, now I got a concrete problem to solve...

Best wishes: Michael
