zodb install problem on Windows

[Mark Brady]

Hi, 
    I have a compiled python 2.1 win32 ZODB (no ZEO yet), mail me if
you want it. It's in nice installer format. I was planning to have a
crack at ZEO on win32 using the Python on win32 book (it has loads of
stuff on setting up services, etc.). I have been busy and am working
on a Jython app at the moment but I might have ZEO working on win32 by
next week with a bit of luck.

Mark.
