1) Downloaded the latest Alphaworks code - which has theoretically been
re-branded as 5733-XT1 however when I asked my BP about this, he wasn't able
to find it - oh and IBM is now charging (are you ready) $250 for these XML
tools.  Again - from what I read of the Docs, it looks tastes and smells
exactly like the FREE Alphaworks samples

I don't know why you bothered with the MS stuff... <VBG>

2) DB2 Extenders for iSeries - fascinating product, but the documentation is
terrible - half the time, I'm editing files on the PC, running commands on
the PC that really execute SQL's on the 400 etc... basically you spend 4
hours looking like your making an intricate model car <some of you will know
the look I'm talking about> and in the end, you get an obscure error (QICU
library not found?) which isn't addressed in the documentation.

Andy, you are missing 5722SS1 option 39, International Components for
Unicode. Load it from the CDs.

Did you get the java tool? That makes things somewhat simpler.
As for the doc, well, it is from IBM!!!  <VBG>
