561 ASCII characters found in the data to their HTML equivalents, dynamic creation
562 of dynamic lists, field renaming and dynamically creating new stateless
563 records as needed.</p>
565 <p>Developed a script to better handle merging from UCM deliveries and rebases
566 by delaying any non automatic merges to the end of the process as well as
567 handle binary element merge. This process, written in Perl, utilized PerlTk to
568 present the user with a GUI dialog box to choose which version of the binary
