Re: HTML to PDF Generator (X-Server on i)

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Charles

We already have PTL installed on a box here, I'm disappointed that IBM 
have chosen to break most of the links to the old PartnerWorld porting 
site, where this was available.

In the QAPTL library is a source file called README - that has some 
installation and configuration information. Then there are the IFS pars 
in /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools & 
/QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools that have some docs for some of the stuff.

There was good information at 
http://www.iseries.ibm.com/developer/factory/tools but that now takes 
you to the general i on Power page - I will put in a question about 
where it is to be found now.
