No, I'm talking about actual records. I should add, though, that all my bibliographical records,
nearly 5,000, are in a series of files, 5 at the moment. Ibidem starts a new file once a file gets
to be about a meg. in size. The files are plain text and consist of records divided from each
others by a page break, with each field in a record beginning with a two-character code and a
colon (i.e., AU: for author) and terminated by a special character and a carriage return. If one
is careful not to disturb the beginning and ending sequences, the files can be directly edited.
Below I have pasted the first two records from my primary database -- I have substituted an
asterix for the special character at the end of a field.
