Would you mind posting the version numbers from the librarian About
page, please?  I'm not sure what version of Koha that is.

There's a Marc binary format which is what I try to get.

I think that tab delimited MARC-record report needs parsing into some
converter to check it's clean and get the binary format out.  If I
wasn't into perl programming, I think I'd try MARConvert as one for
Windows from http://systemsplanning.com/marconvert/

Hope that helps,
