texte = Dear Grant or PCS Tech Support,What would you expect webcatalog to do when the xxx.db file has 21 fields in it, but the xxx.hdr file has only 20 fields?Would you expect the last field in the database to simply be ignored because there's no header field for that database field? Or would the missing header field cause webcat to parse the database incorrectly in some or all situations, thus resulting in some bizarre responses in a search?Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
