[Zope] Please Help - Extracting Info From ZEXP File

[Dennis Allison]

Ummmm... 

Zope is a system that provides for dynamic generation of HTML.  The 
materials you captured are likely to be a dynamic instance as served to 
one user and may not be representative ow what might be served to another 
user or served to the same user in a different context.

To extract the zope programs from the ZEXP file you will need to create a
Zope instance, put the ZEXP file into the "import" directory, and import
it. What you will get will be a collection of Zope objects which, when
executed dynamically, will produce the site.  You will need to learn Zope 
and Plone.
