[Zope] Global Variable

[David Hassalevris]

If you do not forsee portibility as an issue than using folder properties is
surely cool for globals.  Its just when you want to update data.fs and your
global is say a counter that things do not work out well.
I eventually had to move almost everything into a database.  For example u
could have a table named globals.  So ...
<dtml-in zSql_globals>
<dtml-var Company_name>
</dtml-in>
