texte = Short response here. My rant on why you even have to ask these questions isbelow.As I said earlier, WebCat 3.0 is known to have problems. Suggest you moveto at least 3.04 which I found to more stable but didn't introduce aliasand other bugs (as far as I know). I've moved up and down through variousrevs and settled on this until I hear that the newly introduced beta bugshave been squashed in b11.Check the best archives and readme files for more info, but hear's a cluefrom the b11 readme I posted earlier:---------WebCatalog 3.0.5b11 MacOS mini-betaThis version of WebCatalog.acgi and WebCatalog plugin solves a few problemsrecently brought up on the talk list and elsewhere. If you find problemswith this release, please post them to the WebCatalog-Beta talk list.Fixes include:* Newly-introduced 'CyberCash not responding' solved* Newly-introduced 'triggers not running' solved* Alias path resolving does not bomb when using secure files* Newly-introduced quote-comma database false error message* 11th hour triggers should be solved* Modified plugin MIME headers to return standard set per StarNine'sspecs* [FoundItems] loop does not return error if startAt is higher thannumber of found items* Various CyberCash decryption bugs---------Also suggest you subscribe to the beta list. It'll help you glean thecurrent status of things.---Begin rant on why you even have to ask these questions----Wouldn't it'd have been nice to know in advance that this could be causingor contributing to your problems? Again, without PCS informing its users ofknown problems and providing us with its recommendation of which rev ofsoftware we should be running, we are all left to discover the sameproblems repeatedly. I can only imagine how many hours of users' time hasbeen wasted trying to work around the same problems that others haveexperienced. One frustrating aspect of all this is that PCS is usuallyaware of the issues but doesn't bother to communicate this information toits user base in any sort of effective fashion. Even more frustrating issometimes a fix is already available but again, how would you know?PSC's reliance on the generosity of its users and the list archives theygenerate are a sad substitute for properly keeping its users informed ofknown issues and suggested fixes/workarounds.----end rant----Marty Schmid-------------------------------------------------------------Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.To end your Mail problems go to
