Ummm, but i think there are exceptions to Barks or older stories. The codes
which i found in my version is about the original mag it first appeared???
Or am i wrong? e.g. a classic version of Brer Rabbit story is coded as KFS
24-3-1946. And a spesific Barks ten-pager is coded WDC 249 (you know, about
the cosmic machine thing). BTW anyone can tell me what "KFS" stands for???
To Stephan and Francois, thanks for putting the codes' list in this DCML, it
really helps me a lot to know about the stories' publishers.

Thanks
