Hmm, interesting. I guess though that the data structure supports 
quantity pricing (certainly the database schema seems to).

I'll have a look at it and get in touch. I've done a fair bit of 
ferreting around in the ledgersmb code in the work of building the 
oscommerce bridge and I may be up to the job. On the other hand I don't 
have a lot of free time. I'll get in contact.

Many thanks for responding to my query. If anyone is interested in the 
work I'm doing then feel free to contact me

Best regards
