Re: MARC Records, XML, and encoding

Hi Ed,

Interesting ... when I run marcdump I get:

 Recs  Errs Filename
----- ----- --------
  192     0 sample.mrc

Here's the file posted on a web server (maybe a problem with
the list truncating the attachment?):

http://liblime.com/public/sample.mrc

Could you try downloading from there and running marcdump again?

Thanks,
