You take the text files and import them into any database program such 
as Excel. They are in fixed width format. As you import them you can set 
the spacings so all the data falls neatly into columns. Works slick. I 
did a few of them tonight in just a few minutes time. Really handy was 
the Edison file, as the numbering of Edisons is hard to follow by just 
looking at labels. Many of them have only matrix numbers, many have 
none. I have one that has the correct number on the paper sleeve. That 
is the only place it occurs. Now, how many records do you own that still 
are in their original sleeves, and usually, how could you prove it?
