# Revision 1.5  2002/07/24 16:11:37  tipaul
# Now, the API...
# Database.pm and Output.pm are almost not modified (var test...)
#
# Biblio.pm is almost completly rewritten.
#
# WHAT DOES IT ??? ==> END of Hitchcock suspens
#
# 1st, it does... nothing...
# Every old API should be there. So if MARC-stuff is not done, the behaviour is 
EXACTLY the same (if there is no added bug, of course). So, if you use normal 
acquisition, you won't find anything new neither on screen or old-DB tables ...
#
# All old-API functions have been cloned. for example, the "newbiblio" sub, now 
has become :
# * a "newbiblio" sub, with the same parameters. It just call a sub named 
OLDnewbiblio
# * a "OLDnewbiblio" sub, which is a copy/paste of the previous newbiblio sub. 
Then, when you want to add the MARC-DB stuff, you can modify the newbiblio sub 
without modifying the OLDnewbiblio one. If we correct a bug in 1.2 in 
newbiblio, we can do the same in main branch by correcting OLDnewbiblio.
# * The MARC stuff is usually done through a sub named MARCxxx where xxx is the 
same as OLDxxx. For example, newbiblio calls MARCnewbiblio. the MARCxxx subs 
use a MARC::Record as parameter.
# The last thing to solve was to manage biblios through real MARC import : they 
must populate the old-db, but must populate the MARC-DB too, without loosing 
information (if we go from MARC::Record to old-data then back to MARC::Record, 
we loose A LOT OF ROWS). To do this, there are subs beginning by "NEWxxx" : 
they manage datas with MARC::Record datas. they call OLDxxx sub too (to 
populate old-DB), but MARCxxx subs too, with a complete MARC::Record ;-)
#
# In Biblio.pm, there are some subs that permits to build a old-style record 
from a MARC::Record, and the opposite. There is also a sub finding a MARC-bibid 
from a old-biblionumber and the opposite too.
# Note we have decided with steve that a old-biblio <=> a MARC-Biblio.
