> I'm searching for docs on ZClasses. Are there any to be

> 
> Specifically, I'm wondering if a ZClass would be of use in my 
> situation.
> I'd like to create a form where the teachers in the science 
> dept. would
> enter the topics they covered, assignments they gave, etc. for a
> particular course on a certain day and in a given period. Then, when
> students miss school for any number of perfectly good reasons
> (grumble...), they could go to a different form and view 
> and/or print the
> assignments they missed.
> 
> Would a ZClass fit in here somewhere? My initial thinking was 
> to use MySQL
> to store the assignments, simple SQL queries to get the data, and a
> ZCatalog to provide searching capability. (Wait a 
> minute...will ZCatalog
> catalog an external DB?) I don't know enough about ZClasses 
> yet to know
> where to use them.
