      In general it's handier to download the export file to your local
      machine.  Sometimes it's more convenient to save the file to the
      server instead, for example if you are on a slow link and the
      export file is very large, or if you are just trying to move the
      exported object to another Zope instance on the same computer.

         Can somebody give me an example when we need another Zope instance on the same machine?

         Development of Zope itself.  I have about 26 Zope instances on my machine, for instance. Really. ;-)

         You are simply amazing. Thanks.

         I will not expect you to always respond this fast (just trying not to give you too much pressure). But,
         thanks, really.

         Amazing, no. But comments to this book go right into my inbox, so I see them right away. ;-) - Chris

         Chris,

         Thanks! I have been doing my research for the past week and half, trying to decide to go with
         ALOServer/OpenACS or you guys. I read the discussion between you and Don over at OpenACS. Very interesting
         and entertaining. I decided to try Zope first.
         This is the 2nd day I use Zope. It was a beautiful install yesterday. I mean very painless install (on Win
         2000). I already like it, although I know very little about it at this point.
         At this point, we have a user base around 500,000 people (real people with real names & addresses). It is
         very likely we will 10x that within 2 years. I will let you know more details when we are ready.
         Zope is really a good piece of work.

         BTW, what is the easiest way to "import" a site that has about 1,000 html pages and 100 *.avi or *.mov into
         Zope? No dynamic pages or database connection in this case. Just a static site. Even run from a CD.
         Thanks again. Mike

         Chris,

         Sorry. Just realize that I should post content specific questions here inside the document. You have my
         permission to remove the above one and this one.
         Thanks.

         Mike

         I just read the comment about comments going into Chris's inbox. 
         How could I resist commenting.

         Do you know what would be a nice feature with respect to this documentation 
         and comments? A "Make comments disappear" feature; a switch of telescoping
         script gizmo that would permit the reader to just read the documentation
         as it is without having to be constantly throwing cognitive switches that 
         say, "Ooops, there's another comment, stop concentrating and reading, jump
         visually or with the mouse or with the down arrow key, start reading again and
         (maybe) get your concentration back.

         I guess I'm showing my age but I don't think even younger people's minds
         have darwinized to parallel process this text efficiently and effectively.

         thanks.     ...edN
