Of course, these apply to MARC-21 and not UniMarc. Not sure what good

Just to clarify, are you picturing some sort of feedback loop? I'm

If I remember correctly some of this functionality has also changed
over various versions so not sure if this is still
disable validation,
or use the same software stack that generated the marc in the first
place, or changes within the marc spec itself over time that makes
validation even more difficult.
Jon Gorman
I'm not quite convinced that it's marc-8 just because there's \xC2 ;).
If you look at a hex dump I'm seeing a lot of what might be combining
characters. The leader appears to have 'a' in the field to indicate
unicode. In the raw hex I'm seeing a lot of two character sequences
like: 756c 69c3

curious what systems are even using php_yaz)

Yup, it's slow going. It seems so far if you just keep hitting reload
after the errors it eventually gets through. It's keeping the
