[Yulcat-l] OCLC/RLIN21: UNICODE

[Steven Arakawa]

Catalogers who use the Macro Express macro mapped to F11 (open RLIN import 
file) and Shift F11 (open OCLC import file):  the macros should work if you 
follow Patricia's instructions and clear your import files of any MARC8 
records.

CAUTION: be sure you are using either the (current)  Macro Express master 
file MASTER2D.mex or MASTER 2N.MEX. If you are still using one of the older 
master files, such as MASTER1.2D.mex or MASTER1.2N.mex, the default macros 
will automatically re-set the mapping to a non-unicode font. I know of at 
least one cataloger in the SML Catalog Dept. who was still using 
MASTER1.2D.mex as late as last week, so unit expert users should double 
check the macro express files.

thanks,
Steven
