Hello Chris, Thanks for the historical pointer. Also explains why 'Add Z Gadfly Database Connection' pops up a strange sounding comment for new Zopers: Additional data sources may be created by making additional directories in the var/gadfly subdirectory of your Principia installation. ^^^^^^^^^ Another question of 'Zope Culture': Is the anti Win98 feeling I get an accurate assessment of the Zopista community? I've been having more than a little difficulty installing MySQL-Zope tools on Win98 ('ZMySQLDA on Win32'). Only one person (Phil Harris) has been willing to answer questions. But the mailing list, by volume and quality, gives clear evidence of an active and intelligent Zope community. Andy Dustman's documentation for what seems like a nice MySQL interface puts it clearly: <P>Windows is <EM>not</EM> a supported platform. I currently function in two worlds, Win98 and Linux. Would I be right to say that 90% of Zopers live in world number two? Regards,
