I tried running two copies of WebCatalog but thesecond one launched complained that the S/N was already in use so I guessthat's not an option.Second, I looked through the WebMerchant dox and find no mention ofCyberCash although I'm sure that its supported. I did acquire theCyberCash templates whose Read Me says:WebCatalog CyberCash Test Templates1. Install WebCatalog 3.0 b4 or later for Macintosh2. Edit the default.tpl file and set the seed andmerchant text variables to the test values you receivedfrom CyberCash. Cybercash calls these the Secret and CCID3. Link to default.tpl and enter the information forthe transaction.4. Click Submit.5. A listing of all the result variables returned fromCyberCash are returned.Which is a bit too sparse for a newbie such as myself. Will there besupplemental instructions?
