How can I figure out whether or not a MARC record contains ONLY characters from the UTF-8 character set? Put another way, how can I determine whether or not position #9 of a given MARC leader is accurate? If position #9 is an "a", then how can I read the balance of the record to determine whether or not all the characters really and truly are UTF-8 encoded? -- Eric "This Is Almost Too Much For Me" Morgan
