My shipping.asc seemed to be OK, anyway I changed it onemore time to:

FLAT	Post	quantity	0	0	e Nothing to ship!	
FLAT	Post	quantity	1	150	1.95
FLAT	Post	quantity	150	999999	2.95
default	Post	quantity	0	0	e Nothing to ship!	
default	Post	quantity	1	9999999	3.95
default	Post	quantity	150	999999	3.95

In catalog.cfg I set mv_shipmode to FLAT
but nothing happened to my shipping charge -> still displaying 0,00

I thought about IC is not recognizing shipping.asc wich is in the 
products directory - do I have to insert some special entries in my catalog.cfg
that this file is being parsed by IC??

well I didn't even
get the UserDB to run (thanx god I dont need it). I copied the
userdb.asc file of the construct
demo into my products directory - but no userdb.gdbm file has been build
after restarting IC. 
(By the way - why do I have to kill my Interchange process before I can
restart IC???) 
Maybe all this sounds like IC is to "high" for me - I'm running an older
Minivend 3.14 Server on
another machine -> No problem with shipping-charge -> No problem with
UserDB and absolutely 
No problem restarting the Minivend-Server.

Sorry for almost getting pissed off 
(spent almost 2 days on shipping charge without result)

PS: But anyway - a big piece of love and peace to all who work(ed) on
Minivend (especially up to version 3.14 ;-))
