Brian,

The 1.x versions of Zope used a pcgi-like (but not actually PCGI)
strategy for connectivity on NT that was based on NT named pipes.
That is no longer supported for Z2, in favor of using pcgi for
win32 w/ ZServer. The old thing would have required a non-trivial
amount of rework to work in the new multi-threaded Z2 world, and
we hope the options of plain ZServer or ZServer w/pcgi can be 
made to work for the short term. We do hope that eventually there
will be other options (like either a pcgi dll for IIS, mod_pcgi
for Apache, or work on a ZServer named-pipe listener and more
work on A. Staabo's IIS named-pipe connector dll.

Currently, you need to look at the README.NT file in the pcgi/Win32
directory of your Zope installation for more info on setting up
pcgi to work on NT.
