Re: run makecat with an input file

[Carl <carl@cybermall2000.com>]

I'm doing exactally what you describe.  I hacked away at the simple
demo template and I call it simple2.  Then to make a "store" I
enter

makecat  -F -catalogname=one  --demotype=simple2

I actually pass a couple of other parameters on the command line.
I think that I'm just using the default values that were left
over from the first installation of the simple demo.
