A co-worker in our group recently received a set of 9-track tapes 
containing a selection databse of a public library.  The shipping 
information describes the tapes as follows:

ASCII  1600-BPI
LC MARC FORMAT-UNLABELLED

Does anyone out there recognize this format?  I can read the tapes, but 
the data are either compressed or encoded in a format that standard UNIX 
tools (compress, pack, etc.) do not recognize.  

Is anyone out there familar with this format?   Are sources avalible?  The 
company that made the tapes has not been helpful thus far;  anyone who 
might know has been, "Unavalible."


   Thanx in advance,

    Brian
