Hi Michael this is a very newbie question

When you kindly advise us of update contributions for oscommerce such as this one - can I take that they can be installed into OSCMAX v2.00 as well without further modifications except the readme instructions such as
in this contributions case
4. In admin/includes/filenames.php:

find:

define('FILENAME_BACKUP', 'backup.php');

below it add:

define('FILENAME_BACKUP_CATALOG', 'catalog_backup.php');

and others there ?

many thanks

No.. Read this forum title and description:

"New osCommerce Contributions RSS feed of the newest osCommerce contributions"

This forum is for standard osCommerce only, NOT osCMax. If you want to use these in osCMax, you will need to do some spelunking through the code to merge it.

If this forum were for osCMax, it would be titled:

New osCMax contributions

Hope that clarifies things.
