[Zope-dev] Creating a fully stand-alone Zope Page Templates

[Kevin Smith]

This works!!  Thank you!  Do you keep your Page Templates up-to-date 
with Zope's, or is this version going to stay the way it is from now 
on?  It looks like you did what I was trying to do (i.e. put a wrapper 
around the existing code) so that updates only required you to get the 
newest version of Page Templates from Zope and plug them in.
