Are you suggesting that every non-CyberCash user get an error message
saying "CyberCash module NOT found: error is ...."?
 
(NOTE: every post of mine these days has to do with MV4)

Nonetheless, being able to do something like this is nice. There is a
"Require" directive on the catalog level that can check for GlobalSub
and UserTag definitions. On the global level, you can set up your own
check with something like this in minivend.cfg:

UserTag cybercash_found  Routine <<EOF
sub {
    use CCLib;
    BEGIN {
        $Global::Variable->{CC_THERE} = 1;
    }
}
EOF

#ifndef CC_THERE
Message CCLib.pm NOT found.
#endif

Then, in individual catalog.cfg files you can put:

Require UserTag cybercash_found

This is especially useful for ISPs moving catalogs around from
MV server to MV server, as it is hard sometimes to remember what
supporting software you are using.

I have a cop friend who thinks he ought be able to give a new ticket;
"too dumb for conditions".
