What I think is, that inside the ZODB there are also two 'kinds of
files'.
Perhaps uncompiled and precompiled PythonScript? And source of all DTML
-Methods and -Documents.
With the ZMI you can look into the content of the ZODB. I want to create
a CD-ROM with a autostarting ZServer. But my intention is to prevent the
sources. At least a little bit.
On the CD-ROM there is no need for a working ZMI any more, because the
application should now be static (frozen version).
So. How can we hide the sources from curious people?
