Sir, My "objective" is only to learn the most effective way to move an older version Zope application from one host to another with the least amount of wasted time and effort. My question was asked of both this list AND the address found at zope.com's contact page. I had assumed (I believe correctly) that how to transfer Zope applications from one hosting company to another is something that would a) be of interest to those who subscribe to this list b) find a knowledgable "been there, done that" answer from among this list's readers. It is not my intention to start a conflict (only to find answers) but I do find it discouraging when I run into self-appointed list cops who impute wrong motives to users or prospective users who are asking legitimate questions. I can only hope that Mr. Barrett's response is not the most useful that I will find from this list. I am looking forward to finally "getting my hands dirty" with Zope (in resolving this problem and administering the application), and hope that in the near future I too can provide answers to those new to Zope. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Richard Barrett wrote: I would have thought that you would be best advised to address this to digicool aka zope corporation at an email address you might find on http://www.zope.com/AboutUs/ContactUs. As a user of zope, which is why I subscribe to this list, I'm not interested in whatever commercial problem you and your employers have. Trying to embarrass digicool or whatever your objective was in posting to this list is, in my opinion, out of order. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Darren Addy Web Specialist Information Technology Services University of Nebraska at Kearney
