This may be of interest to a Bibliographic hacker because the YAZ toolkit has
a demonstration client program called IRTCL that can perform the internet

everything but save or export the results !
However, using OOo tcluno it should be moderately easy to add the code to save
the internet search results back to the OOo bibliographic database.
Or Python with PyZ3950 as I did way back at the beginning of the
project ;)
Yes.. in fact, as much as I'd love a good old programming language war
with Rob, my morality obliges me to recommend anyone against putting
serious effort into a Tcl-based project. And while the Tcl Z39.50
toolkit is robust enough in itself, the GUI client that comes with it
was just intended for demonstration use, and is now quite old. It's not
really been polished for serious use.
