That's a good sign.

When you see these messages, you know that a Zope server is running
locally on your machine, on port 8080 by default.
Keep the DOS box running.  Now access the server using a web browser.

To reach it, start a browser on the same machine and go to the URL
http://localhost:8080
This will bring up a Zope home page from your local server.

Get to this point and you have accessed your own Zope server, as a user.

Also, once you have the Zope  see the online "The Zope Book" at the
Zope.org website which will tell you how to go further.
