Where i work we have a programmer that alters the latest koha to our 
liking and, when i first posted on here it was to see if there was a 
solution to what my boss wanted, because a librarian from a school 
district we work with said it wasnt doing what she wanted, removing 
fines from specific books etc..., so we can only upgrade so many koha 
systems a month and have other priorities. But like i said we have an 
altered version, if your interested in checking it out I can get you a 
zip of it. We are still trying to find out if its the librarians old 
version and our new one has the fix or not. I hope this makes sense.
