<dtml-var "3*4">
I believe the <dtml-var " "> is processed (beacuse its in """s) as an python
expression, thus name1+name2 is concatenating two variables.

not following thread, but basically apache hands off requests via pcgi or
fastcgi to ZServer/Zope.

ZOPE's interface to *any* webserver is CGI.  I'm not quite sure what 'stop
the IIS' means - do you mean you cant RUN IIS AND ZOPE simultaneously?  to
set it up, yes you probably have to stop IIS, and you may even have to
reboot NT :p

anyone thought of an ISAPI filter for handling ZOPE requests?  would this
provide any extra functionality/speed?
