578 ASCII characters found in the data to their HTML equivalents, dynamic creation
579 of dynamic lists, field renaming and dynamically creating new stateless
580 records as needed.</p>
582 <p>Developed a script to better handle merging from UCM deliveries and rebases
583 by delaying any non automatic merges to the end of the process as well as
584 handle binary element merge. This process, written in Perl, utilized PerlTk to
