Thanks much for the quick response.   And good news, too!

Hum.  In your opinion, what is the best way to do this?   My constraints:

- I use both windows 2000 and Red Hat Linux 8
- I do *not* have a C/C++ compiler on Windows

Do I need to build Zope from source in order to use Python 2.2? 
Or can I simply get rid of $ZOPE/lib/python2.1 and replace it with
$ZOPE/lib/python2.2  (retrofit)?  What are the ramifications of this choice?

Sorry for so many questions; I am trying to get the most stable setup I can,
while doing the least amount of setup work :-)

Thanks very much!

BTW, The answers to these questions should probably be on zope.org
or in a wiki somewhere, do you agree?
