Re: Yet Another IBM Conspiracy Theory... unmasked
My first post on this subject didn't make it through moderation... You can get a copy from IBM, on their Taiwanese website (the Redbook IS in English!) - go to: http://www2.tw.ibm.com/cgi-bin/db2www/techdoc/index.d2w/report You'll see it listed about four items up from the bottom. Click on it, and a download process will start, eventually - it's a bit slow. I've put a copy on my website in case it is 'disappeared' from the Taiwan site - http://www.corestore.org/sg245944.zip is where to get it, but go easy - my bandwidth isn't infinite! Mike http://www.corestore.org That's OK, but it's not the final, released version. That's a preliminary copy, hence the redpiece name in the directory. I would really like to see the final release version. Anyone else? Mark Post _ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
Re: Yet Another IBM Conspiracy Theory... unmasked
The availablilty, then disappearance, then pending availability of the UNIX Tools Toys web page brings to mind a few thoughts I keep having about open source and USS. 1) I really appreaciated the website and redbook because it helped me greatly to get a handle on porting tools to USS. 2) Its disappearance forced me to research and experiment more with porting to USS since a number of tools at the website really are very valuable. 3) The biggest thing that repeatedly struck me, though, was the static nature of the website's tools. (And this is NOT knock against anyone at IBM. As I said in #1, I greatly appreciated the site.) I also work with the Linux world and and watch frequent notices and then frequent updates for various tools (Samba for example is at what? 2.2.7a?). Would it not be nice to have some website and process by which the tools were more current? How this would be done, not sure. Have a place in the site for us to stick more current ports?

Steve, Perhaps you'd care to comment on the absence (or present location) of the SG24-5944-01 Redbook?

Re: Yet Another IBM Conspiracy Theory... unmasked
It's me again. Maybe i misinterpret it but please have a look inside the document: On the coverpage is written: Redbooks On Redpieces is written: Redpaper In the impressum is written: Second Edition (February 2002) That's OK, but it's not the final, released version. That's a prelim inary copy, hence the redpiece name in the directory. I would really lik e to see the final release version. Anyone else?

Re: Yet Another IBM Conspiracy Theory... unmasked
That's correct (except the fact that only Redbooks have Redbooks on the cover). The final release version of that book was dated March 2002.
