Hi,

If I empty out all the lines in products.txt, and inventory.txt, the
tables get built fine but of course they are empty...

They look OK to me in a hex editor so I can't figure out what is
happening.

Here are the files.

they are indexed right out at the root directory of the site...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
