And I still missed it! Amazing! it must've been the pre-lunch hunger or 
something... Maybe you should use a blink tag and a red font tag inside a 
one cell table with a thick border (/me runs from the HTML-standards mob).

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for: what is the current "blessed" 
procedure for using ZEO with Zope? 

The client will be using the binary Zope 2.6.2 package, BTW. 

I've (finally) read the ZODB page and it says Zope 2.6.2 doen't need a ZODB 
surgery to use ZEO. This is good since I don't want to scare the client with 
weird surgeries for a Production installation :-) (I'm mentoring them on the 
installation, not installing it for them). 

Since we'll be using python-2.1.3, ZODB 3.2 isn't an option. Does ZODB 3.1.4 
(the last ZODB release according to the ZODB3.1 page) fix the "one client 
changes an object but the others don't see the change" bug reported here 
recently? 

If yes, should I just copy over the ZEO package or do you guys still 
recomend that I replace all of Zope262 ZODB with the standalone one? 

Cheers, Leo
