| Hi Michael,
| Thanks for the response.  I wasn't very clear:  I did install CMF-1-5.0
| in the Zope_Instance/Products directory.  I've installed lots of
| products!  Its just that CMF-1-5.0 has no __init__.py in its base
| directory - and therefore its not being picked up by Zope as a Product.
|
| *still confused*
| .
| FWIW I also unzipped other CMF "tars"  and they too did not have this.

CMF is not a single product, but a suite of related productx.  The
INSTALL.txt says:

~  Link (or copy/move) the CMF packages into $INSTANCE_HOME/Products

It then provides examples of doing the linking on a windows box:

~        $ cd /var/zope/Products  # /var/zope is INSTANCE_HOME
~        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFCore .
~        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFDefault .
~        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFTopic .
~        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFActionIcons .
~        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFCalendar .
~        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFSetup .
~        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/CMFUid .
~        $ ln -s /usr/local/zope/CMF-1.5.0/DCWorkflow .

*Those* are the "products" of which CMF is made up.

The top-level directory, CMF-1.5.0, is not a package (hence it has no
__init__.py) or a product;  it is just the container for the products.
