[Zope3-dev] svn.zope.org tarballs?

[Butch Landingin]

Since I was the one who originally asked to Jim to put it this feature
back in, consider my request withdrawn :(. 

I'm pretty sure there's a fix floating around in cyberspace, but I just
don't have a net big enough to snag it just yet ;)

Thanks anyway for trying it out.
 
Regards,

Butch
