MARC records are in plain ASCII text format. Using Windows 95 or 98, you
can open Windows Explorer; select the file name that you saved the
record as; right click on the filename; select Open (or Open With if you
get that choice) and open the file with Wordpad. Notepad will also work,
but wordpad give a neater display because it wraps the long lines.
