Dear Mr. Sloan,

>Thank you for your message below. I am working with MOKKA, (English short
name: HUNCAT), the Hungarian National Shared Cataloguing System (and
consortium, having the legal form of an Association) and I have some
experiences on an other, smaller consortial undertaking, being also of
shared cataloguing character. At the moment I am so busy that I cannot
answer your questions immediately, but I will come back to my essential
answer within two weeks. I shall present your message - with your permission
- to the interested Hungarian newsgroups, and to a consortial undertaking of
public libraries, asking them to inform you if they have any essential
information on the matter
