[Zope] 2.01 will not run on NT4

[Michael Simcich]

"Note that when running as a service, there seem to be some problems with
ODBC connections." I'm just about to try those out - does the problem just
not work at all or is it something that I as a neophyte don't have to worry
about?

Erm, no. It won't. It works that way on UNIX, but not on Win32, because
that Win32 just doesn't support that. The -D switch stands for Debug, and
has more effects than just not disconnecting from the terminal on UNIX.

Not running in a window can only be achieved when running Zope as a
service, and therefore only on NT. This mode was especially set up to
overcome the above problem. Note that when running as a service, there seem
to be some problems with ODBC connections.
