In case any of you hadn't seen it yet, here is the news item I just posted on zope.org: ExternalFile 0.8 Released (Stable) Created by arielpartners <http://www.zope.org/Members/arielpartners> on 2002/01/17. This is the second public release of our ExternalFile <http://www.zope.org/Members/arielpartners/ExternalFile> product. Why not simply use ExtFile <http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/ExtFile>? Because ExternalFile supports pointing to a file "in situ" like a symbolic link, rather than copying it into some central repository directory. This may not seem like a big deal, until you consider that those files might be stored in a revision control system like CVS. ExternalFile gives you the ability to create a Zope object that points to a file in, for example, a CVS sandbox for its content. This new release adds "workalike" capabilities. ExternalFile can now behave like any of the following: * DTMLDocument * DTMLMethod * Image ExternalFile is usable by itself. It is also the base class for CVSFile, to be released shortly. --Craeg
