[Zope] Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp (login problem)

[Juergen R. Plasser / Hexagon]

Hi Yvon,

I have several installations made on Win98 boxes, everything worked fine 
ever. Do you use Win98SE? When I use http://localhost:8080/ I think you 
dont need any internet/network connection at all (but I am not sure on 
this).

Can you mail the output of START.BAT please?

Regards,
Juergen
