Hi Sam, I'll get a zip file out to you today.
The system was taken off line when the client elected to move to a packaged ecommerce solution. Too bad, cuz my deal was 10% of $ throughput to do the dev work.

I was hoping somebody out there would have an already written solution, even if it’s 4D 2004. David, I was headed in the direction of NTK (which is basically 4DIC on steroids) as it seems to be the most direct way to approach this. I don’t need documentation and I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to figure it out. I just need a roadmap. How come it’s offline (just mildly curious)? Anyway, I would love to take you up on your offer and would be eternally grateful, willing to pay for it, whatever, as long as it works.
