Or just don't use openmerchant cause it is pretty lame software. Have you looked at the code? ick! I could hardly believe it was coming from such a hyped-up company, with backers like IdeaLab. The distibution is ugly, with tmp files left in by the developers, and the high-level design of the software doesn't look like it had much thought put into it. And they don't use CVS! =P Actually, while you were posting that, we were busy with our second release of OpenMerchant. (It went out Friday evening.) The first released version had all the faults of quick proprietary development -- the hacks and re-writes imposed later by clients with time pressures. The version released Friday is (some bugs aside) complete and fairly easily installable; I urge you to take a second look. On CVS: *sigh* We're distributing nightly builds. We're incorporating patches and bugfixes submitted to our development mailing list. One of our programmers is working on a new source control system -- until then (and until I can convince folk here to use CVS:) we're going with the Tarball Versioning System.

Hmm. Word to all you w3m users out there: you lose your HTML formatting when you preview. *sigh*
