There were some test files included in the MARC.pm distribution. And quite a bit of testing was done with that format initially - so I think the test files provide quite a bit of coverage (for what was available at the time). It would at least be a starting point. > As a result, MARC::File::MARCMaker may not necessarily > support UTF/Unicode any time soon. We were working with perl 5.004 and perl 5.005. So the only character support was "DOS compatible" MARCMaker, not Unicode. -bill
