I've been using zope 2.7.4 on win 98 for some development/testing, not as a
real server.

But I'm confused by your statement: if zope 2.8.4 is calling an NT security
function, not available in win98, then it does NOT run on win98?? DO you
mean there is something wrong with my win98 setup or that zope 2.8.4 could
be patched to overcome this issue?

Thanks,
Fernando
