I appear to be overlooking something somewhere, or something isn't working at UBVM. To have a generic ft I installed TEST1 REPORT in the filelist. It is in the filelist, retrievable with a "get" command. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * Instructions for Internet viewing of MARC records in OPACS.

If so, what? If not, what is the problem? I have read all the documentation I can find (some going back to 1.5) and have tried to follow Eric's advice, but I just can't get it to work.
