You can either give your specialist methods to create objects of each type,
which call the respective Racks' newItem() methods, or give your specialist
a single method that determines based on input parameters which class would
be better suited. The choice depends on the requirements of your problem
domain.
In either case, the specialist is also the natural place to put the UI
("add forms") for creating the objects.

Hi Jimbo, I'm not sure what you mean by 'not getting anywhere...' but I've generally found it useful to work on problems like this one little step at a time. I might be tempted to just try: WITH EmployZManager.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE original_object = (RESULT is _.None) and NOT_FOUND or RESULT and WITH self.original_object COMPUTE name=emp_id, description=first and then put some objects into EmployZManager 'manually' with known attributes for emp_id and description. Then try to trigger the script by displaying the 'original_object' attribute. (You should set the rack to be non-persistent and 'original_object' as the existence attribute.) Once that's working, then worry about the other skinscript statements. If that's not working... the you have some other problem. -steve ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

[Zope-dev] ZPatters: Roles and remapping
An Organisation can play the role of Customer and of Requester. In this case the Requester specialist will remap from the Customer specialist. In terms of roles all Customers do not play the role of Requester. Would it be correct to say that the remapping to Requester only occurs at that point in time, when the Customer plays the role of Requester and therefor becomes a Requester, as opposed to mapping the Customer to a Requester as soon as the Customer is created? In the latter case the Customer's rack pushes attributes to the Requester's rack and in the former the requester will first ask the Customer specialist for all Customers and then create a Requester for the Customer selected from the list. The reason I ask this is: Remapping in some way implies that the existence of the one implies the existence of the other. This is one place where frameworks colloborate and I think that colloboration should be carefully exercised so any input would be greatly appreciated.

[Zope-dev] strange error on first load of zope page
The first page I try and load after restarting the zserver invariably contains
the following error.
It always occurs *after* the page has successfully been rendered (I have added
debugging so that I can see the path traversal, and SQL statements executed).
Hitting reload will then display the page properly, and I won't see the error
again until i restart the server.
(The actual text from the html source is
'Cannot pickle type 'module' objects')
It seems perfectly reasonable to me that you can't pickle a module, but what
I'm having trouble understanding is why zope is trying to. Can anyone suggest
a way that I could try and track down why this is happening?

What is the "accepted" way of passing a value into a different scope? Do I
have do a REQUEST.set or is there a tidier way?
dtml-let
Also I think I read somewhere that you can use the object.subobject or
object.property syntax but I never got that to work, what's the catch?
dtml-var expr="object.subobject"
note that this is a Python expression and the code between quotes has
Python behaviour.
One last thing, I sent a couple of mails to the list about problems I had
with manage_delObjects. I still haven't got it to work. Since the best way
to learn Zope is by example, I wonder if anyone could direct me to a sample
piece of code where a container of some sort deletes one of its children
subobjects?
try (untested):
dtml-call "subobject.manage_delObjects([id1, id2, ..])"

Re: [Zope] Cloning a ZClass-Instance
Hallo Chris,
my reply is late but the problem is already not solved.
I've build a simple ZClass 'News' with base-classes 'ZObject,
ZObjectManager'.
I haven't changed the permission-settings in the product.
The script working on the objects is this:
--
dtml-in "objectValues(['news'])"
dtml-let x="_.getitem('sequence-item')"
dtml- call "manage_clone(x,'test',REQUEST)"
/dtml-let
/dtml-in
--
The response of Dieter Maurer was, that it is a permission problem
--"Either you are not allowed to call the ZClass constructor
at the destination,
or you are not allowed to access the object to be cloned
at the destination."
I'm trying to execute the operation with the role 'manager'
That's the traceback:
--
The object holle does not support this operation

[Zope] Higher Educatoin Portal/Admin
Greetings! I'd like to know if there are any activities regarding use of Zope to build/support educational systems. I have searched the list and there seem to be a few, but I cannot find out how to contact the peoiple involved. My main interest lies in building administrative systems that ease the task of planning and administering courses, staff and student info, schedules, publishing info about courses, events, etc, as well building or supporting systems that will let teachers build and integrate on-line courses with existing admin systems (although this is secondary; there are better systems that do this allready). This is not an easy task, of course, because it involves a lot of analysing the needs of an educational organisation as well as reviewing how the organisation works, how the students preceivethe service the receive, etc, etc. In other words, a lot of process development, instead of "technical" development. I am currently heavily involved in such a project. Among other things, I'd like to have a serious discussion on the pros and cons of building such a site/portal/whatever with Zope and why it is better to choose Zope, instead of, say, Turbine in a combination with Jetspeed, which much more "buzzword" (read Java) compliant. The recent instabilities and slow response times experienced with the zope.org site and the incomplete, possibly unstable, state of DCOracle, the Oracle adapter (and similar concerns with some other needed Zope Products) has been raising some questions of the suitability of Zope for this kind of project. On the other hand, I fail to see an alternative to Zope; of course there are better CMS'es, better development platforms, better Oracle support elsewhere, and so on, but neither of those systems has the combination of integrated features and modularity of Zope. I am very interested in talking, even building a Zope SIG, with more people that interested in these issues. The traffic on the main Zope list is too heavy, and I feel this issue is better of maintained in a parallel list. I also would like to know if there is interest from Digital Creations in this matter.

[Zope] Building dynamically class instances using external methods.
Question: I am running Zope2.2.2 under python1.5.2 on a linux machine. The following situation: I have an external Method which creates dynamically an instance from of a class depending on some input to a function contained in this method. In short the code (of the external method) class Classname: def function1 def function2 ..etc. def createInstance(argument) x = Classname(argument) return x Where createinstance is the method that is invoked initially from zope. Everything works fine, the method returns something like ?.Classname instance at 8546e70 using "__allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__ = 1" in the class definition it is possible to access all methods of the class within Zope. Among others the class holds a method 'dump' who should 'pickle' the objects instance (using the python 'pickle' module), more precise should return a string represantion of itself. This works fine when tested in a normal python session. (where the method returns contrary to above: __main__.Classname instance at ...) Called from Zope this does not work. The pickle module raises an error: .. File /usr/lib/python1.5/pickle.py, line 818, in dump File /usr/lib/python1.5/pickle.py, line 97, in dump File /usr/lib/python1.5/pickle.py, line 198, in save File /usr/lib/python1.5/pickle.py, line 400, in save_inst Error type: Attribute error, Error Value: __module__ QUESTION: Is there any possibility to get these things work. ? (or is it really awkward stuff ???) Maybe related questions: QUESTION 2: What does the "?" mark in the generated objects string representation means ? Is it neccessary to 'anchor' (sorry for my terminology) the object within some other object ? And: QUESTION 3: The lifetime of an instance has should not to be longer than the current REQUEST is performed, is there any possibility to create the instance as an subobject of the current REQUEST ??

Re: [Zope] Dr.Watson on NT
I have been running a Netscape WEB Server on an Alpha NT for 3-4 years and the Doctor Watson window being open has always denied access to the web server from a browser although other access is not stopped such as telnet and mapped disks. Finally, I set Doctor Watson not to pop up on alerts so I have to regularly access the Dr. Watson log file, but have not had web access denied since doing that. So, I don't think this is actually Zope related specifically but maybe WEB server in general.

RE: [Zope] Zope declining?
hi, I might atribute any decline in this list to one of several things: 1. Documentation has much improuved, thus people can look up the answers and not soly rely on this list. - Zope Book specificaly. - Training clases. 2. Many of the people are now way past the general skill level in this list and have lost interest. 3.

This compared to the trend of last two years (doubling volume every year), should probably raise a red flag. My experience here is that the list isn't much help. It can be very hard to get a question answered! Especially when it gets out of the "Hello World" level. And when a question eventually do get answered it is often terse and hard to understand. It would be nice if more of the devlopers would spend some time on this list, as it would really save those of us still learning a LOT of time. Coming from the Python list this is really a big difference. If I have a Python question I get an answer very quickly from the top Python guys.

I am using the 2 minutes rule myself. Any qustion that I can answer in less than 2 minutes I will. 2 minutes isn't to much so I can answer a reasonable amount of questions and still get work done.

[Zope] Advanced search in ZCatalog
Hi! I´m trying to discover how to make a ZCatalog perform queries on several "fields" (as in the property sheets) of the cataloged objects, but with no sucess. I´d like to execute queries using a "or" chain of tokens, to be applied on several fields of the cataloged objects, given that each field has a priority in the search results. Any ideas on how to implement this? I´ve tried several approaches with absolutely no sucess, and I´m pretty stuck, so any help will be welcome. Thanks, Daniel Dias Do You Yahoo!?

[Zope] Form variables with same name as folder names
Hi. I am new to using Zope and just got stuck on the following problem. I am trying to
use forms with an SQL database.
I have a form with checkboxes and I use variables like FOO to capture the value. For
example:
input type="checkbox" name="FOO" value="1"
The form has a post with the action to call a DTML document. In my DTML document I call
a Z SQL Method called InsertMethod with REQUEST as the argument, for example
InsertMethod(REQUEST).
My Z SQL Method InsertMethod has arguments including
FOO=""
And then in the body of the Z SQL method I have:
dtml-if FOO
{code to insert into a database table}
This working UNTIL I created a Folder named FOO. Then the value of FOO in the Z SQL
method seemed to be the FOO folder and not FOO from REQUEST. My workaround was to
call the variable FOOCHECKBOX.
Two questions:
1) the ZSQL manual,
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/ZSQL-HTML/ZSQL.1.4.4.html, says that the
first lookup should be variables in HTTP_REQUEST. So why is FOO referring to my folder
FOO?
2) is there some way I could have referred to the variable FOO in my Z SQL method
without resorting to renaming the variable in my form?
Thanks!

Re: [Zope] Advanced search in ZCatalog
PrincipiaSearchSource is a method that returns the (for example) text of you object. If you have a class that is being catalogued, as it catalogs it calls each index (be it a method or a property).

[Zope] Where to store my data?
I've just started playing with Zope again, and this time I'm going to spend enough time with it to actually decide if it's crazy or I am :) My project currently consists of a bunch of community "modules" written in PHP using MySQL as a data store. Each modules PHP code produces an XML page, by running a bunch of queries in the database, and performing some logic. These XML pages are then processed using XSLT, with a model very similar to Acquisition. I'm getting very tired of the poor language design inherent in PHP, and wanted to start using Python again. (Big reason for doing this work: In the current package, each module is only accessible from a hardcoded URL, such as /links for the Links module, etc. Many of my customers want to change the layout of their site, and in fact maybe have two Links modules, etc.) So far, sounds like Zope would be a great system for me. It would give my customers a good platform to customize their sites, and give me a good platform to build my modules with. Now, short of just doing it and then discovering what I did wrong, I'm hoping to get some advice from the Zope community on how to structure this system.

[Zope] Re: Advanced search in ZCatalog (Micha)
Hi,
I played with ZCatalog and ZClasses a time ago.
Due to the fact that ZCatalog can Index all Objects - You Can Index a
Method, .!!!
This Methods can be External-, Phython-, or DTML-Methods.
But they have to return something to the catalog (DTML-RETURN Tag).
You can give this method a name like "PrincipiaSearchSource" or what the
hell you think of.
In my case I index about 10 different ZClass, 100 Instances of them, with a
PythonMethod called text_inhalt (text_contents)
Param: self
Code
return string.join((self.id, self.inhalt), '; ')
Or in an subclass
return string.join((self.id, self.teaser, self.gericht, self.keys, self.art,
self.norm, self.parteien), '; ')
Be warned you can use a DTML Method and return something with the
dtml-return tag, but this is not working very well within a ZCLass, !!!
??
P.S.:
If you want to call a resultObject (e.g. a ZClass) directly through
Zope/DTML/Python use the PyMethod "fetchObj" much cooler than only via
catalog.getpath (which is link /hfg/kkjk/)
to do somthing like this:
dtml-in mein Result from a canned search
dtml-call
"REQUEST.set('meineURL',fetchObj(_,Catalog.getpath(_.int(_['sequence-item'])
)))"convert /parent/child to an real object parent.child
dtml-var meineURL *** points to a ZClass [Base:Renderable] calling the
Object/Class directly, which renders itself
/dtml-in
use something like this:
Python Method: fetchObj
Param: _,fetchStr, attr=None
obj = _
for p in string.split(fetchStr, '/'):
obj = obj[p]
if attr is None:
return obj
else:
return render(_.getattr(obj, attr))

[Zope] SSL and relative links (URLs)
Hello all, I am running Zope 2.2.2 and accessing it through Apache FastCGI. I want to access some of the content through SSL and some without. What I have done is set up 2 FastCgiExternalServer directives in Apache. One in the non-SSL area (/non-SSL/dir/zope) and one in the SSL enabled area (/SSL/dir/zope_ssl). BTW, this is the only way I have figured out to be able to serve zope content through both SSL and non-SSL enabled delivery on a single zope server. The obvious problem here is that content meant for SSL can be accessed through non-SSL and vice-versa. If anyone has come up better solution, please let me know. My real problem is that when I call a zope object relatively (ex- href="zope_object" instead of href="zope_object.absolute_url()" or href="https://bla.com/zope/zope_object"), the protocol is displayed as http instead of https. I had this problem with absolute_url() until I installed SSLAbsoluteURL (shameless SSLAbsoluteURL plug). Is there anyway to remedy this situation with relative links?

[Zope] Monkeying with the Zope database
I've been toying with the Zope database and I'm probably alomst to the
point where I know enough to be dangerous.
I am trying to make a few changes to the stuff in the Zope database
without actually running Zope.
Here's what I'm tring to do:
1 - Create a new user in the top level acl_users folder
2 - import a file "login.zexp" into the top level folder (login.zexp has
been copied to the import directory)
Here's some code I've written:
--
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/zope/lib/python')
import Zope
appRoot = Zope.DB.open().root()['Application']
# create a new user
appRoot['acl_users']._doAddUser(name='ThisWebSiteIsMine-SoThere',
password='pw',
roles=['Manager'],
domains=[])
get_transaction().commit()
# login as that user
owner = appRoot['acl_users'].getUserById('ThisWebSiteIsMine-SoThere')
Zope.AccessControl.SecurityManagement.newSecurityManager(None, owner)
# import login.zexp and take ownership
appRoot.manage_importObject('login.zexp', set_owner=1)
get_transaction().commit()
--
Here's the resulting traceback:
--

--
It appears to be dying while trying to set the ownership.
There's a good chance that I'm going about this all the wrong way (I'm
new at this stuff).
Any help to fix up what I've tryed or new ways to approach the problem
will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Re: [Zope] Calling obj. in index_html
In the wonderful world of DTML
dtml-with ftp
dtml-with "ftp"
dtml-with expr="ftp"
dtml-with expr="_['ftp']"
dtml-with expr="_.getitem('ftp')" etc...
all work for folders.
I know dtml-var foo is different from dtml-var "foo". But whilst its
always been summarised that one "is python" and one "isnt", the exact
difference I couldn't tell you without hunting through the DT source.
wild guess Both dtml-var foo and dtml-var "foo" both render the string
of foo, its just that the latter doesnt parse the resulting html/wild
guess, but things are different for dtml-with compared to dtml-var.
Maybe someone more expert than me would like to jump in...

Re: [Zope] Form variables with same name as folder names

Hi. I am new to using Zope and just got stuck on the following problem. I
am trying to use forms with an SQL database.
I have a form with checkboxes and I use variables like FOO to capture the
value. For example: input type="checkbox" name="FOO" value="1"
The form has a post with the action to call a DTML document. In my DTML
document I call a Z SQL Method called InsertMethod with REQUEST as the
argument, for example InsertMethod(REQUEST).
My Z SQL Method InsertMethod has arguments including
FOO=""
And then in the body of the Z SQL method I have:
dtml-if FOO
{code to insert into a database table}
This working UNTIL I created a Folder named FOO. Then the value of FOO in
the Z SQL method seemed to be the FOO folder and not FOO from REQUEST. My
workaround was to call the variable FOOCHECKBOX.
2) is there some way I could have referred to the variable FOO in my Z SQL
method without resorting to renaming the variable in my form?
A sneaky problem indeed, and once again, one caused by "convenient"
shortcuts. (o8
The simple answer: use REQUEST.form['FOO'] to refer to the form variable.
The longer answer:
To make life simpler on our key-weary fingers, DC made all the form variables
part of the namespace, but put then sufficiently down the search path so they
wouldn't get in the way of other objects. Most of the time this is just
great, but occasionaly you do run into this problem.
So, you can explicitly access all form variables with REQUEST.form[]... just
as you can access all cookies via REQUEST.cookies[]
I would advise you make a small DTML Document containing dtml-var REQUEST
just to have a look at what it contains THEN go and check up the ZQR for
all the members of REQUEST... and RESPONSE, while you're at it.. (o8

At the moment it uses the Microsoft XSLT parser on Win32, but changing it to use another parser/os shouldn't be difficult at all. It works right now, the XML and the XSL can be built using DTML calls as well, so building XML from a database is very simple indeed, and using DTML in the XSL is just as useful.

Machine B serves a separate wide-area network in Company B, and Company B employees need access to Company A's intranet. The link between Machine A and Machine B is too slow/low-bandwidth for all of company B's employees to access A's intranet directly. Therefore we want to have a Zope server on Machine B with a mirror copy of the Company A intranet. The problem is, how can we keep this mirror copy updated on a daily basis? Ideally we need an automatic process to run each night and update the mirror on B. The ideas I had were : 1) stop B's Zope server, copy across data.fs and restart B. But can this be done automatically? 2) somehow keep a log of changes made in A, and at the end of day, export the changed files, import them on B, overwriting the originals. Can this be done in Zope code? Can this be automated? Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions on these ideas? Or does anyone know of a better way, perhaps an existing Zope package or solution?

Have a look at the excellent Client_Server product. It allows you to export chunks of objects from one to another. http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/Client_Server Then: - write a script that each evening - gets a list of every object in the data.fs and its bobobase_modification_time - runs export on each of those objects from A - B. -- Andy McKay, Developer.

[Zope] opinions please
hello, i am searching for opinions on a project i am considering. the project is to create a product or script to allow users to email documents into Zope as attachments. then the documents are to be placed in the proper folder according to information in the subject line of the email they rode in on. what i would like to know is, is this possible? if it is, how hard will this be to implement? the other idea was to create a client app where users can drop the document onto a desktop icon and the app uses webDAV to put it into Zope. would this be easier or harder? ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] How to maintain an up-to-date mirror site in Zope? (not-so-newbiequestion!) question!)
Hi Alex, If the changes that are made are always 'one-way' you could rsync Data.fs, or you could 'export' certain folders that could then be 'imported' at the mirror site. These could both be automated pretty easily. As you noted, if you take the rsync route you'll need to shut down and restart Zope. If you do the export/import you can leave Zope running (though you may want to pack the DB afterwards.) Another nice feature of export/import is that you can have some parts of the site that are managed at company B and other parts managed by company A. An even better approach might be some kind of ZEO solution.. but I don't know anything about ZEO other than the name. ;-) -steve "Bowyer," == Bowyer, Alex [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Bowyer, Here is the situation, can you offer advice?

[Zope] FYI: Digital Creations secures $12M round of investment
Hello Zope friends. At long last we at Digital Creations are able to publicly say it: we've closed a $12M round of investment: http://www.digicool.com/News/CRound.html It's out on the newswire now. We'll start pushing it out more over the next 24 hours. This, needless to say, is a big deal, one that we've worked on really, really hard this year. With the tech market downturn since March, and with Open Source particularly getting a beating, it's vindicating to get good funding from strong partners. When everyone else was getting wads of cash during the go-go times, we were quietly at work, being frugal, making money, making a business case, and being profitable. We're proud to say that we got our money when money was hard to find. Let's put it this way: Open Source business is hardly dead. It's just different, and better. What will this mean? First and foremost, Zope and Digital Creations will become very competitive, very quickly, along a number of axes. As the PythonLabs move indicated, we are taking aggressive steps to become a dramatic force in the worlds of content management, web application services, and Open Source leadership. With this round, our business model has been validated. As a member of the Zope community, I view this as "the dream delivered". Many of us care deeply about this thing we're involved in, and sometimes it feels like a longshot. Though this is still a David vs. Goliath, David now has a slingshot, and a bit of steel in his eye. Thanks go to the folks here at DC, to the Zope and Python communities, and to the companies around the world that are basing their business on Zope.

I now have one last problem. I can now access all entries from the LDAP directory using the notation dtml-var sn missing = nbsp;- all except one - the "title" attibute . I am guessing that it is because Zope uses "title" to reference the title of the object in the zope database, and therefore won't let you get at the ldap variable using the normal: dtml-var title notation. Is there any way I can pinpoint the LDAP variable instead of the object title in zope? I have no control over the ldap server and attributes name, so I can't change it at that end. When I test the LDAP filter method I can see the variable (it lists all of the attributes of the LDAP record), but I can't reference it in DTML. My filter method is called 'Academics' and just extracts a list of academics in the biology department here at Monash University. I'm sure there must be a way using python notation, but not being a python expert (yet!), I could do with a few clues... Any ideas?

[Zope] strange error on first load of zope page
The first page I try and load after restarting the zserver invariably contains
the following error.
It always occurs *after* the page has successfully been rendered (I have added
debugging so that I can see the path traversal, and SQL statements executed).
Hitting reload will then display the page properly, and I won't see the error
again until i restart the server.
(The actual text from the html source is
'Cannot pickle type 'module' objects')
It seems perfectly reasonable to me that you can't pickle a module, but what
I'm having trouble understanding is why zope is trying to. Can anyone suggest
a way that I could try and track down why this is happening?
thanks,
toby.

Re: [Zope] Where to store my data?
Randall, You're crazy (or rather, you will be by the end of it...) Seriously though, I've spent 3 months developing a site using Zope, and just now is it starting to feel a bit more natural to use. Probably not knowing Python was a handicap. I chose the RDBMS approach to store posts, etc as I was familiar with SQL. I still don't think you can beat the search capabilities of a properly designed database, and Zope does make SQL integration straightforward. Zope has all the right characteristics for what you want to do, but it may send you 'round the twist making it happen! Good luck! Steve - Original Message - From: Randall Kern To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2000 7:00 AM Subject: [Zope] Where to store my data? I've just started playing with Zope again, and this time I'm going to spend enough time with it to actually decide if it's crazy or I am :) My project currently consists of a bunch of community "modules" written in PHP using MySQL as a data store. Each modules PHP code produces an XML page, by running a bunch of queries in the database, and performing some logic. These XML pages are then processed using XSLT, with a model very similar to Acquisition. I'm getting very tired of the poor language design inherent in PHP, and wanted to start using Python again. (Big reason for doing this work: In the current package, each module is only accessible from a hardcoded URL, such as /links for the Links module, etc. Many of my customers want to change the layout of their site, and in fact maybe have two Links modules, etc.) So far, sounds like Zope would be a great system for me. It would give my customers a good platform to customize their sites, and give me a good platform to build my modules with. Now, short of just doing it and then discovering what I did wrong, I'm hoping to get some advice from the Zope community on how to structure this system. This is a fairly large system, I host about 10 customers per box, serving about 4MM page views. 99% of the pages are dynamic, doing real-time database queries. Some of my first questions: -Is Zope a good choice for this kind of project? -Which is better: Store my content (Forum posts, Links, etc) in ZODB, or a MySQL database? -Build my Product (right term?) in DTML/ZClasses (seems easier for my users to customize?) or build it in Python? -Can I (easily) build this system in 4 layers: Content -- actual low-level storage, rarely customized Logic/Object Representation -- layer used to interact with the content, also rarely customized, although does have configuration options XML (page contents) -- every URL should result in an XML document, containing all the information that will be presented on that page. Written in DTML? XSLT (page rendering) -- the XML documents must be transformed into HTML/etc. These transformations, like the page contents should be inherited; excuse me, acquired. -Simple things should be simple, Complex things should be possible. -- My users should be able to plop a Links module into their site, edit the Properties for that Object, and it works. If they want to change the way Links are categorized, they should be able to, although it'll take a while longer :) Thanks for your Zen, -Randy
