[Zope] About factory_type_information

Wow... how about that.  I don't run XP (hopefully never will).   That really
sucks.
 Windows isn't cruel to you, it's just cruel;)

Thanks but i know that for many years and that was what i did, as usual.
I was very astonished by windows behaviour.
I tried to search the string 'base' in OFS, specifying the file
propertymanager.py wich contains the string 'base'. The search returned
"no results found" or something similar.
I'm running windows XP. It's a great evolution : no more blue screens.
I have the same behaviour with PDF
I tried to find the string 'bases' in lib.pdf (Python reference
library). I launched from the directory containing my PDF, no results
and there is a __bases__ in lib.pdf, isn't it ?
I can't understand why Windows is so 'cruel' with me :)
If you understand, let me know.
Finally, having to read modules to find something is a way to learn.

Think positive, think positive pfff.....
