[Zope] Exporting from 1.10.3 to 2.6 (or latest)

Wow, that's old. For a moment I was even thinking you might have the 
Zope version numbers confused with some other program. Are all your DTML 
methods in the SSI format?

That's a big big jump. If all else fails -- like the script that Chris 
mentioned -- you can try to upgrade through each successive major 
version release. They should all still be available. You'll definitely 
want to pay attention to the 2.0 step. (I recall having problems moving 
from 1.10 to 2.0. In fact, I think I gave up, since I didn't have 
anything important in there.)

Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design."
