Interchange is the successor of MV. While I run MV 3.14 and IC 4.5.8 I believe IC to
be superior. I personally am partial to 3.14 mainly because I know more of it's ins
and outs but working my way up from 2.08 I can easily say each version brought more
and more to the table. I think it really does not matter which you choose as you can
write whatever you want using perl to do whatever you want. Suggestion: Put in both
and use the one you are most comfortable with. Be prepared, this is not a little
script that gives you a cart.

Have a great day
Steve
