oic ...
so, is there anyway to make database routines run in separate threads?
In fact, I'm trying to use ZOPE to do some automation, eg. reminder
emails, news clipping, or maybe some WAP applications as well. I want to
make it able to schedule itselfs so as to better utilise resources, make
ZOPE more or less real-time, and to prevent overloading or spam from the
content source. Well, since ZOPE runs from source, I think we may extend
it to do some remote control works as well. eg. redirect your fax at
home to your email account, allow you to listen to your home voice
mails, etc.

anyway, thanks
