I know my high school had converted it's entire library database _by hand_
from the Apple ]['s to some new proprietary package only to find the new
package didn't meet their expectations.  But at that point they were stuck
with it.  If I could just get at those data files there might be a way to
XMLificate them. There's another piece of software to add to the list:
Library Catalog :)  Every school's got one, and every one probably needs
serious revamping.
