Yes, all you have to do is edit vlink.c and tlink.c and then recompile
them.

Hey Mike/Aktopia - It would be great if you added a change to the standard
Minivend that I make whenever I do an install, which is to have
vlink/tlink read the HTML message in server_not_running() from a file. I
usually put and if() aroud the current message and check if the file
exists. If it does, I display the file; if not, the default message. This
allows a different message for each catalog. I call the file
mv_server_not_running.html (very creative name ;-). Sorry, I couldn't get
the code for this message, but you get the idea.
