Homan: I don't know how others are getting along with Xron; that's a
question better asked on zope@zope.org. I've copied that list. I hear about
Xron from others mostly when it doesn't work; rarely when it does work.

How about it folks. We need some positive feedback here. Has anyone
successfully installed and used Xron on Zope2.3, SUSE 6.4?

Did you run into the lock-up on install problem? How did you get around it?
