For those of you who are still using Minivend, I have built new
Minivend 3 and Minivend 4 packages. They simply solve the recent
security problem.

They are available at:

    http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/minivend3/
    http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/minivend4/
    
If you cannot for some reason update immediately, please do
immediately implemement the workaround described in this
message:

    http://www.icdevgroup.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2002-August/024350.html

It is as simple as removing or renaming the "doc" directory in your
Interchange or Minivend software root directory. If you are not running
in INET mode or you have firewalled any IC INET ports, you are not
vulnerable, but it would be wise to remove that directory anyway.

The only other change is to Minivend 3 to remove harmless warnings
received when starting under Perl 5.006.

Best,
Mike
