 They want to it because zope has become very very slow.

 I have code I have everything. Site is working in zope on my development
system. I have tried everything I could find information about. They want to
 create exact copy of that already working system in php.
 Main problem is exporting original data. They can't loose it.

 Yes that is what I want, a snapshot. I am working on windows system. What
is
 wget? What does it do? Will it work on Windows.

 Question is how do I know which objects store data and how many fields
 (attributes) are there and their data types etc. in each of those objects.
 And then how to extract data?
