John:
This sounds good.  I have one question though......Has there been, or do you
expect any challenges due to a change in format from its original record
format to the new format?

To: [log in to unmask]

Our Xena digital preservation software is a free and open source tool
for digital preservation. Xena may be used as a desktop application or
(more commonly) via its application programming interface to perform its
two key tasks from within other digital preservation workflows. Xena is
designed to:

* Determine file formats
* Convert files into standards based, open formats for preservation

Key new features in the 4.0 release of Xena are:

* Export facility (un-Xenafy) is now available through the viewer
interface
* Audio plugin is now included by default
* Image file metadata is now extracted from image headers
* Archive plugin (zip, bzip, gzip etc) is now included

Please take a look at the new Xena website http://xena.sourceforge.net
and download your copy, then let us know what you think.

Thanks,
