Zope and NT databases

[Steve Holden]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Zope get around these
connectivity problems by defining an inherently multi-tier
architecture?  Being new to both Zope and Python I may have
misunderstood, but I'm sure there's documentation on this
[... starts Zope ...] [... waits three minutes for under-
powered server to stop swapping ...] aah, yes.  Visit your
Zope server (assuming you have left the default web intact),
click ont he "Get Started" link, and navigate the tree to
"Database Integration | Multi-Tiered".

It appears you could use a Zope instance on the Windoze machine 
to publish the Access database contents to the UN*X box.

 Steve
