[ic] Serious problem after reconfig!

Marc -

You will probably need to telnet into you server space, then use a unix 
text editor to fix the file - opening and then saving it with vi, ed, emacs 
or pico may in itself "cleanse" the file.  Just login with telnet, then:
         cd catalogs/yourcat
         pico catalog.cfg

Ctrl + O to save.  You will then need to do a command line reconfig, or 
just restart minivend.

Hope it works for you!
