Something is going wrong with MarcEdit. I've been running this process 
for years where I create these little MARC records like this:

=LDR  01111nam  2200313   4500
=907  \\$a.b6092066x
=933  \\$aMarcive found multi matches on:"100 1  $aAdams, Levi."

I compile them with MarcEdit and load them in my ILS. It's always worked 
fine until this month.

Now the compiling is not working. The complied records all seem to have 
the wrong record length. Validate record structure gives this error:

Record Number: 1
Error: Record length doesn't match reported record length.
Record Length: 132
Reported Length: 00129
Record Text:
001291nama  0005213   4500907001600000933006000016 \a.b6092066x  
\aMarcive found multi matches on:"100 1  aAdams, Levi."
----------------------------------------

They are all off by 3 characters.

What is that A with the circumflex? Is that normal? All these mrc 
records have that.

Any idea what's going on?
