Python & cgi on win98--tinyweb problems, etc

[Bernie]

I am using Zope and MySQL on Windows 98.  My machine is P3 400MHz 
notebook with 128MB of ram.  It runs well (I can use Together Community and 
MS Word 2000 with it at the same time).  Except that you have to 
manually shutdown Zope before you turn the machine off.  However, Zope's 
feature for managing dynamic generated web page pays off.
