yes, I did. In setting up the new site I wrote a configuration program that moves
in and installs all the various products repeatably so I have a stable base. The
ZClass portion ot the ZDiscussions (the zexp file) even gets copied into import for
ease of installation. Just to be sure, I repeated the export process and everything
worked. Such Heissenbugs bother me. I'm guessing that I may have mistyped one of
the names or something. Anyhow, for the moment all is well.
