Hello,

Where do you enable DisplayErrors? in interchange.cfg file?

I tried to search MailList Archive but couldn't find much about this problem.

I'm running it with Perl5.6.1 on Solaris8...

Can you please tell me more detail on what files I delete in products/?
when you say gdbm files, do you mean *.db files?  what about ichelp.db and
icmenu.db file?

Thanks again.

	Peter.
