Michael:  Before doing anything, did you change the extension from .bin to .mrc?

Subject: Problematic file

Hi all,
  I have a set of MARC records from OCLC; when I download the file, it is in .bin format;

I try to open the file in MARC-Edit, compile it into .mrc; however, when I try to open the file as a .mrc file in MARC-Edit, I get an error message "Please make certain this file is valid MARC".

I tried opening it on a different computer, same problem.

Is this likely happening because the file is corrupt?  I can get the data to load as a .bin.

Thanks so much for your help,

Michael Cabus
