Hi Nigel,

we can't help you precisely, because the description of your problem is 
not precise enough.

The installer, from 1.2.3 to 2.0 should work & take care of all database 
updates.
Once it's done, expecting you have a marc21 setup, with complete 
mappings of koha fields => MARC fields, you just have to run 
misc/koha2marc.pl to move your biblios to MARC structure.

It may not work at 1st try, as this script was builded for 2.0, and the 
API slighlty changed for 2.2 (but no one updated this script, as I don't 
think anybody tried 1.2.3 => 2.2)
Just 1 thing I see :
	$bibid = &MARCaddbiblio($dbh,$MARC,$biblionumber);
should be written :
	$bibid = &MARCaddbiblio($dbh,$MARC,$biblionumber,'');
(affecting all biblios to default framework, a new concept in 2.2)
