The document in question predates Zope.  It was written to help people
understand the inner Zen of Bobo, the predecesor to ZPublisher (which is
the Object Request Broker inside of Zope).

If your using PCGI, you can edit your PCGI resource file to point to the
module youwant to publish with the PCGI_MODULE_PATH variable.  If your
using ZServer, check out z2.py around line 335 to see how ZServer
publishes Zope.

Remember, Zope is just a Python module like the one you want to publish,
it's just very large.  To ZPublisher, there is no difference between
your Module and the Zope Module, the highly componentized nature of Zope
(and python in general) is one of it's more powerful features.

In the case of ZopeHTTPServer you can say:

python ZopeHTTPServer.py MyModule.py

and your module will get pubished on port 9673.  See ZopeHTTPServer.py
line 493.
