  • MarcEdit Mac Update–Inclusion of Console Mode

    One of the gaps in the Mac version of MarcEdit has been the lack of a console mode.  This update should correct that.  However, a couple things about how his works… 1) Mac applications are bundles, so in order to run the console program you need to run against the application bundle.  What does this…
