Chris> Not everything is as hard as some people manage to make it ;-) OK, thanks. I hope you'll agree though that the three excerpts below from http://www.zope.org/Documentation/How-To/ZCatalogTutorial do give the clear impression that ZCatalog is available as a separate standalone entity and is available somewhere as ZCatalog-x-x.tgz for download. | * Usable outside of Zope. The software is broken into a Python Catalog | which wrapped by a ZCatalog. The Python Catalog can be used in any | Python program; all it requires is the Z object database and the | indexing machinery from Zope. | * The ZCatalog is a free, Open Source part of the Zope software | repository and thus is covered under the same license as Zope. It is | being developed in conjunction with the Zope Portal Toolkit | effort. However, the ZCatalog product is managed as its own module in | CVS. | Installing ZCatalog | | ZCatalog can be downloaded from the Zope download area and is also a | module in the public CVS for Zope. Untar it while in the root directory | of your Zope installation: | | $ cd Zope-2.0.0a3-src/ | $ tar xzf ../ZCatalog-x.x.tgz Or, do you really want to shoot the messenger? :-) BTW, I did see the ZCatalog stuff in the Zope2 tarball, but I assumed that was the Zope Product, not the implied standalone. Anyway, I'll get on with it. Thanks. Terry

Hoy cow that doc is old. "Last modified on 2003/08/01." That date was when the site was migrated from the previous version. So the real creation date is lost somewhere in space-time. But ZCatalog has allways been part of Zope as long as I have developed in it. And that is since sometime in the nineties. -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science Phone: +45 66 11 84 94 Mobile: +45 29 93 42 96

And what version of Zope are we on now?
| $ tar xzf ../ZCatalog-x.x.tgz

Well, by all means report this anachronism to zope-web@zope.org, and someone will hopefully delete it. But really, with Open Source, it's up to you to be the judge. If a document is over 3 years old and mentions a version of Zope that's *nine* point releases earlier than the one you're using, d'ya not think it might be out of date? ;-) cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
