Thx Kiko!

That's precisely why I said :"# I know this is develop."
But thank you Tim for pointing that out.<wink>
By the way, the ZODB Wiki: http://zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/FrontPage/guide/
shows a Release 3.3b1 based tutorial. IMO that drives newcomers to
dive into ZODB 3.3, despite the beta *keep out* alert sign.

I see.

"In practice" it was necessary to copy out of Zope 2.7.2 the following:
- ZEO
- ZODB
- Persistence
- zLog
- ExtensionClass.pyd
- ThreadLock.pyd, ThreadedAsync
- Btrees, Btree.pyd, IIBtree.pyd, IOBtree.pyd, OIBtree.pyd

Due to my incipient skills I might have over-copied, but it is working.
I thought you'd like to know.

Thank you Tim.
