  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update

    I’ve posted an update to correct a problem in one of the older MARCEngine function.  The Split tool was defined to ignore character encoding and simply read bytes using the default windows character encoding, which in .NET 1.1 was codepage 1252.  In one of the .NET updates/patches, this behavior has changed.  Someone sent me a…

  • Metasearch updates

    So we continue.  The program is obviously still very basic, but at least its starting to look nice in the various UI testbeds. 🙂 –Terry

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update (Doh!)

    Seems I have to modify my build procedures now that I’ve given a few libraries strong names and placed them in the GAC.  Unlike previously, each component simply used whatever the current library was in the program directory.  Unfortunately, now that the MARCEngine is signed, each component that links to it needs the reference recompiled. …

  • OSU’s metasearch development

    Ah, finally…I can sit back and rest for a minute.  After a bit of hard work, I’ve finally been able to turn over code to the interface group.   As a test — I pulled together a very quick test interface. Group Interface (grouped and ranked) List Interface (ranked) Very simple — essentially 2 xslt files. …

  • MarcEdit 5.0 updated

    You really won’t notice the change, but I made a few updates to the language files (updating elements) and then have put in a few additional refinements (i.e., saving/reloading elements in the export tab deleted utility [right click on the arguments list to initialize the menu]) As always, the update can be picked up from:…

  • Happy birthday to me

    My wife tried to set of the fire alarms in the house by putting all 29 candles on my cake today.  Hah…not even close.  I’ll need at least 30, I’m sure.  Anyway, 29 years and I’ve still managed to avoid growing up…and thankfully with young kids, I still don’t have to grow up for what,…
