   htDig does not index files on filesystem; exactly other way around - it
index sites via HTTP/FTP. I've never tried it on Zope, and I DO expect
problems - Zope really had problems with robots 'cause Zope does not send
redirect on folderish objects (to force trailing slashes). But if all your
HREFs contain neccessary trailing slashes, I am pretty sure htDig will
happily index your site.
