[ic] Is there limitations on number of catalogs run?

[S. Wong]

Ok Ed, I've bumped it up to 25MB for the interchange user.  Hopefully 
that'll keep things "alive" for a while.  So, I'm guessing there ain't 
no limit to # of catalogs eh?

Thanks. :-)

Oh, while I have your attention, can I ask why I'm getting this very 
strange diff between catalogs I've recently added ...

I've created one foundation store which was prepopulated with data but 
then I deleted all items and created my own items with options and by 
selecting an option, and doing recalculate, it'll change the amount. 
 But the newest catalog that I created (makecat) which had no 
prepopulated data, I created an item with options but it never changes 
the price.  It's always defaulting back to the original option.  E.g. 
album -> options (plain = 19.99, gold trims = 30.95) ... I select gold 
trims and recalculate, it doesn't change the price and the option in 
checkout goes back to plain. :-(

Thanks.  Sorry for inserting that ... but I hoped you would indulge me. 
:-)  THANKS!
