In case any of you hadn't seen it yet, here is the news item
I just posted on zope.org:
ExternalFile 0.8 Released (Stable)
Created by arielpartners <http://www.zope.org/Members/arielpartners> on
2002/01/17.
This is the second public release of our ExternalFile
<http://www.zope.org/Members/arielpartners/ExternalFile> product.
Why not simply use ExtFile
<http://www.zope.org/Members/MacGregor/ExtFile>? Because ExternalFile
supports pointing to a file "in situ" like a symbolic link, rather than
copying it into some central repository directory.
This may not seem like a big deal, until you consider that those files
might be stored in a revision control system like CVS. ExternalFile
gives you the ability to create a Zope object that points to a file in,
for example, a CVS sandbox for its content.
This new release adds "workalike" capabilities. ExternalFile can now
behave like any of the following:
* DTMLDocument
* DTMLMethod
* Image
ExternalFile is usable by itself. It is also the base class for CVSFile,
to be released shortly.
