[mv] Options with "mod1"

******    message to minivend-users from John Carroll <jjc@groveton.com>     ******


After fooling with MiniVend's (3.14-4) "simple" for a while, I finally
decided to see what "flycat" had to offer.  It had a few glitches in it,
but those weren't my concern.  What bothered me was this statement, which
I saw earlier in the docs, made a mental not to check it out, and as
usual, forgot.  Here's a shortened quote.

"Item with a variable price option.  The hidden variable "sku" contains
the keyword "mod1" instead of a price.  This tells the cart to parse the
selection named "mod1" to obtain a price...  Up to 16 options mod1 - mod16
can be used to price an item."

I still have only the crudest idea of how MiniVend works, but does that
mean that I can only have 16 prices for a given item?  The problem arises
with something like ring sizes.  There are a bunch of them, and they
affect price.  Then there's band width (not to be confused with bandwidth)
and metal(s) used and stones used, and a few more variables.  The result
is there will undoubtedly be far more than 16 prices for a given style of 
ring. So the question is: Can MiniVend allow someone to choose from more
than sixteen possibilities/prices?  If not, I've got a problem.

Thanks for any help.
