hi I am preparing a web site using zope; I am quite of a newbie I would find it useful if it would be possible to store files in the real filesystem what I am thinking of is: I would like to have a class RealFile that is similar to the usual File, such that the content of the file is stored somewhere in the real filesystem or otherwise a class RealFolder that is similar to the usual Folder, such that, when a File is created into it, the content of the file is stored somewhere in the real filesystem; the reason for the above is that 1) I need to manage very large files (postscript PDF and such) and 2) I need to process these files with standard Unix tools is there any existing external method that does the job? thanks for any advice a.m. ps: please reply to me too, I am not subscribed to this list -- Andrea Mennucc "E' un mondo difficile.
