I appreciate the good advice I got here on starting a 2nd instance of Zope using a separate INSTANCE_HOME folder and a different HTTP port. That works great! Now I'm wondering where I can get a bare-bones copy of the data.fs file for the 2nd instance without having to re-install Zope using the Windows installer. (I got the 2nd instance working with a copy of my production data.fs, but I'd like to do my debugging with a stripped down database.) Also, I noticed in my production var folder that there are a lot of files named data.fs.tr0, data.fs.tr1, etc. Can I delete these? Thanks again for the help.
