Dear Terry,

Would you be willing to share your unusual files? We develop two products, MARCView(tm) and MARConvert(tm) that are used in 44 countries around the world. We are always seeking ways to make these products more robust, and being able to handle the files you describe would be an asset.

If so, what would be the file size? 

Many thanks for your consideration.

Best regards,
Stephen
