[Zope-CMF] export/import problem

[Memo Rishel]

Thank you for your valuable tips!

I am developing on a W2k machine and exporting
for import on a unix hosting site.

With your suggestions I was able to sort the matter
out:
1. I changed the file system path properties of
the folders under the skins directory to having
forward slashes. The forward slashes work on both
my windows box and on the unix system (so should
be the default for a new CMF instance on Windows,
yes?).
2. The second issue I had was that my CMF* products
were installed in INSTANCE_HOME/lib/python/Products,
and I had to move them to INSTANCE_HOME/Products
to match the unix host

Thanks,
Bill Rishel
