It's frustrating to see Zope come up and just stop.... Dennis, I do understand your frustration. However, 2.1 is quite old; guaranteeing backwards compatibility is generally difficult, having so many things changing so fast. I find increasing numbers of programs that no longer compile on my Red Hat 7.3 machine. Can you provide me with an example of something NPTL breaks? Is there something I can do to help? Did you try Skip's suggestion of applying the changes from the 2.2 or 2.3 tree to make 2.1.3 compile?
