Hi MJ

Thanks for that - though I am quite shouty (being from the North of England) it wasn't my intention to shout in this instance :-)

Regards

Lisa

The .usm files I've seen are just .mrc binary files by another name.
Rename it to .mrc and it should import into Koha in the normal way.

(And Koha is a name, not an abbreviation - or are you so happy you're shouting it?  ;-)

Hope that helps,
