Thierry, Aha.. thats the deal. Gunzip is the compression utility that makes a .gz file, which often is a compressed tar file. AFAIK tar is an age-old utility that is for tape backup drives. A hack to the source allowed a tap file to be a local harddisk file instead, but tar ain't so great. So Gunzip is used on top of that. What you have is the TAR file that is still a compressed file, thus you dont have anything that is usable yet. Reopen this tar file with you decompressor and uncompress that and you should get the desired results. If it wont open the tar file, get winzip or something. You are on a win32 machine yes? If not, use for (l/u)nix: tar -xvf FSESSION.TAR Cheers, Paz -----Original Message----- From: Champier [mailto:Thierry.Champier@grenet.fr] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 1:46 PM To: 'Paul Zwarts' Subject: RE : [Zope] how to use FSSession Hi Paul, Thanks for your answer.. Here is the given instruction that I read : Installation Download FSSession.tgz and untar it in your root Zope directory. Create a directory called FSSession in the var directory , give it the appropriate permissions and restart Zope. I have done this and : here is my home directory on the server : * Zopesite : this home folder contains : - FSSESSION.TAR - the new file FSSESSION with no extention Nothing else has been created and FSession wasnot installed to <zopedir>/lib/python/Products/<FSesdir>. Is PowerArchiver correctly untar the file ?? Do I need to run this new file FSSession ?? and How ??

Products are run by zope on startup by hitting the __init__.py files and then including them as a product in the control panel. Also read the instructions to see if anything was needed to compile first (usually not with products except commonly dbase adapters). Perhaps the restart is what you need on the zope process....
