[Zope] ZServer and ZPublisher

[Phil Harris]

Your perfectly right and about twenty seconds after posting, I realised and
set the PYTHONPATH and it worked.

At least ZServer started, I am now having trouble getting ZServer to play
ball with FTP connections, I'll struggle on for the moment, since as the
docs say, ZServer is for playing with at the moment.  I don't intend to use
it for any mission critical stuff at least 8^).

Thanks for the message.

See ya

Phil
