hi,

I'm not familiar with iso2709  but there is a program called Octopus that 
may do what you want. It's open source software and can be found at 
octopus.enhydra.org - worth a try anyway.

Regards
Iain

ISO2709 is very similar to MARC records as used by libraries. Its most 
likely  not going to be a simple export.

In ISO2709 there can be variable columns per record, multiple values per 
column. You should be able to find a document that describes ISO2709 - 
and you could write a perl program to do the conversion. You'll need to 
know what tags you should be using. If I recall, ISO2709 doesn't specify 
the tags, only the format of the records, but its been a long time since 
I've looked at it, so I could be wrong.

At one point I did the opposite (sort of) - I wrote a perl program to 
parse ISO2709 files (on mag tapes) and converted them to delimited text 
to be indexed & searched.
