Are you ready to buy another WebCatalog license?Then, since you're using two separate plugins, you have to realize that you *cannot* use the same database files with those plugins ... because each plugin will keep its own separate version of its databases in RAM. So even if you DID use two plugins, you have to separate your databases, one per server, with NO SHARING of those databases. >How much modification is required going from plug-in code to acgi code?Change your WebSTAR Action and Suffix Mapping to use the WebCatalog.acgi instead of the plugin, then remove the WebCatalog Plugin from the Plugins folder - that's all.
