My problem is following:

In our intranet it should be possible to upload TeX-Sources. These 
Sources I want to compile into a pdf and a html version and then I want 
to store them in different folders.

So: I don't want to upload a file to zope because (I hope I'm right) 
then it is stored as a zope object in the zope-filesystem (or how that 
is called..) and I can't manipulate the file then... right?

So what I want to do is: upload ONE file into servers filesystem and I 
haven't found a good homepage explaining how to solve that problem...

BTW: I knoe that there is stuff like DTML-TeX and the possibility to 
create pdf on the fly, but I want to try it by myself...

Thanks for any advices, links and hints...
