Ok, Now I add a little hack to the ddts.
Now you can send a mail with a subject like
REQUEST zope fr
and you get the description from the package 'zope' with this nice
template and translated parts etc.
only for your information:
Now I have also transfers the part and ppart database to DBM. I use
still the old files, but make updates to the DBM files and serach
parallel in this files (and make debug output). If this is working
(and now it is working two days), I will transform this db's.
Now I schedule the transfer of the desc database too.
Other problems/wishes?
