I want to use a zebra printer with UPS labels, and all that requires me to do is change the View/Print Labels hyperlink in UPS_ManageShipmentsResults.asp to .gif instead of .html. However, the file is encoded.

I thought ProductCart is open source? I've always thought this. What's the deal?

Hi Brett,
Strictly speaking ProductCart is not "open source" - It's just that access to the source code is made available. ( http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/productcart/licensing?s%5b%5d=licensed#why_should_i_pay_for_a_productcart_license_when_there_is_plenty_of_open_source_software_available - A WIKI entry about this )
There are a small handful of files that are encrypted. as far as I'm aware these are all UPS related files and they are encrypted because that is a requirement of UPS.
