Yes ... I'll fix that immediately

Hmmm, both seem to be 8910, could you clarify where you see 9910?

I didn't even know about the ones in misc!

So just record.abs needs to be customized, right? or do you have custom
*.idx and *.chr too? I can imagine that some languages, like arabic, will need
a complete set of custom etc/ files ...

The installer from MJ should be able to put the files into the right
places without
needing to run rebuild_zebra.pl. The key is to identify which files
are global and
which are language/marc_flavour specific.
