    That is very normal. MARC21/UNIMARC is an either or standard selection. You 
may have MARC21 or you may have UNIMARC. To my knowledge, you may not have both.

    That said, when this last came up, I can see the point of wanting to be 
able to run both in parallel if you absolutely MUST have both. Suggestions for 
how to do that are here:
