Thanks for the reply - it would help if you could copy the message to my
email aswell, as it is very easy for replies to get lost in the stream of
knowledge that flows from the minivend user group!

When Interchange runs, it tells me it cannot access error.log - permission
denied.  I have change the read/write permissions to allow anybody to write
to it (don't worry, this is only a local demo), but I cannot change the owner
(root).

It therefore says it cannot report error "Low traffic settings".  I assume
this isn't a fatal error, as it seems to continue loading and churning the
disk.  It continues for about 10 secs before the process disappears.

I am using English, although I dare say I probably have the option to use
other languages.

Any help would be much appreciated.
