Thanks for the feedback on Win2K. A Bristol colleague reports:
"I can't currently get it to work under Win2k (keeps prompting
me for the location of webfldrs.msi) ..."

Yeah - I thought the problems had been sorted under Win98 - but
I re-discovered this gotcha (which I was getting under NT4): you
can copy .htm files TO Zope but not back again. And changing the file
name and/or extension doesn't offer a workaround. Bit of a shame
that ....
