Hello Jean-luc, Thank you for posting this! If there's a way to get the ‡ character instead of the data-synching $ sign I'd be golden, if for no other reason than to make the copy/paste into OCLC Connexion smoother. Very easy to use your app! $4,000 isn't likely to make any company too vested in maintaining the feature. I could be wrong but my gut tells me we'd be paying the fee on the regular every time the API breaks for each *raison du jour* (if I didn't completely mangle the French there) Craig Craig Haggit Senior Special Collections Librarian, Western History and Genealogy Dept.
