This is a multipart message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The second way does NOT check for prereq's and coreq's. We have multiple 400's and are never prompted for a system, userid nor password when using the second method. Therefore, how can it check for the prereq's and coreq's?

The second way ALSO checks coreq/prereq stuff and is, IMO, just fantastic (was, at least <g>). You can tell Boulder to send your order anywhere, on any media.
