Splitting into DataSkins and Plugins sounds like a really sensible idea, I defintely put my vote in for that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Alexander" <steve@cat-box.net> To: "Kevin Howe" <khowe@performance-net.com> Cc: "ZOPE-Dev Mailing List" <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Monday, September 18, 2000 2:28 PM Subject: Re: [Zope-dev] Can ZPatterns Plugins be used separately?

Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to use ZPattern Plugins in a non-ZPatterns Product? Allowance for Plugins would be a very useful feature in many applications.
You can use PlugIns without using the rest of ZPatterns, such as DataSkins and Racks. You still have to have the ZPatterns product installed, obviously. I can see this becoming even more useful when ZClasses work with PlugIns. This may be a while off, though.
I'm still in favour of splitting ZPatterns into separate DataSkins and PlugIns packages in the next feature release.
