John,
You asked "As to a single store using MV/IC, why not?" Maybe I missed
something. If somebody like myself is being hosted by an outside company
and has standard cgi-bin abilities - can interchange be used? The way mine
installed required a program to run on the server at all times for it to
work - and most host providers I know kinda frown on that sorta thing.
I'd be happy to be proven wrong however... :-)

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD
JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Isaiah
12:2
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous
judgments endureth for ever. Psalms 119:160
