Great - another internal battle looming...? I must admit I'd never heard of IBM Installation Manager. Is it available -- the packaging end, that is -- to non-IBM packagers of software? And glancing at the Websphere cookbook, it seems that it interacts with SMP/E somehow. Any pointers to an overview? The one in the Information Center[sic] is less than helpful. Tony H.
