Now I get it. As I said, I need to compress data to fit in a CD catalog,
so
unless one of other available storages also compress its data internally, there's no point in performing the switch.
I think I was unclear on the concept... My original thought was that you were trying to create a db of content from a bunch of CD's, however from recent follow-up posts I am wondering if you want to distribute a zope-based 'product' on a CD (ie. create a zope-based product, use CD's as the distribution medium, then have an 'installer' take the data from the CD and install the zope 'product' on the user's system)? If this is the case (an ambitious project to be sure - given the various h/w configurations you will have to be installing zope on), how about using DVDs instead of CDs as the distribution medium (4Gb vs ~700Mb)? Also, if this is the case, zope may not be the best 'infrastructure' for your project. If you provide more information as to what you want to accomplish the 'list' may be able to give you better answers (just keep in mind that the list is public and no-one has signed any non-disclosures!)
