This isn't actually working with Zope 2.4.1.

It exists a file called Zope/lib/Python/StructuredText/StructuredText.py but 
there is no definition of the ctag in it. The file that contains this 
definition is now called ClassicStructuredText.py.
but when i change this file it isn't recompliled at the start of Zope ( the 
StructuredText.py file is ).

how can i compile the ClassicStructuredText file / is that the right file?

Thanks in advance,
  Steffen Hausmann
