[ic] Purpose of products.txt

[Integricity Support Team]

Hi,

I'm not too sure about this, but why is there a products.txt file in
addition to the data in the database? Is it not more efficient to read
it off one or the other, rather than having to sync and keep both the
same?

I refer to this because I just imported some data I entered using
Excel and it sure works out great, but when I tried to access some
fields, it doesn't happen.

Thanks,
  Alex
