I don't have many issues that late and I don't have that one, but you
are perfectly right.

There is another Swedish Barks index, primarily sorted on Swedish
publication, printed by NAFS(k) as NAFS(k)uriren #5.  The reason I
missed the 1987 reprint of WDC 174 was because I used an *old*
machine-readable version of that index.  I've put that index on
ftp.lysator.liu.se (in pub/comics/disney/swedish/) now, but I would
really like an updated version of it instead.  Greger?  Johan?  Could
you please supply me with one?

You'd better buy both of them, to be sure.
