Hi Anne-Lenna

Magnus our NORMARC export (he wrote all the NORMARC support for Koha
and is from Norway also) is currently trying to sleep of a cold in
Marseille. He has been there for the week with Koha developers from
all around Europe working on a code sprint leading up to the release
of Koha 3.4.0 on April 22 (which will have native NORMARC support).

I am sure he will answer when he wakes up :) As far as I know such a
script does not exist. I would offer to write one, as it sounds like
fun, but I am in the middle of release management work. I am sure
however that one of the other developers could do this.
