Dieter
I tried this but what I found on my back up tape on 'var' was a file
'Data.fs.index' 161kb. No 'Data.fs'. I installed this file to no effect. =
Any
suggestions?
Or have I misread your note?
Thanks
Dapo

Zope stores its data in a single file "<ZopeDir>/var/Data.fs".

You should shut down Zope and remove "Data.fs.*" before you change
"Data.fs".
When you are sure, all previous products (Zope extensions) are installed
again, you can simply restore "Data.fs".
