Now we're talking, that sounds reasonable.  Thanks for pointing out the
zope/var vs Zope/lib, point taken.  I'm about to code this bit now so for
version 0.2 I'll put a text file in the zope/var directory.

The private subdirectory idea sounds great, but I think some people may
prefer a ZODB solution due to backup's, accessibility and, dare I say it,
ZEO.

Arrgghh, ZEO I didn't think about it until just then. Are there any ZEO
issue's I need to be aware of?

OK - These are great suggestions and I am taking them all in, honest.

Cheers
