Re: Poll - Best resource for Webfacing

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am going to echo what Larry says.  Webfacing and HATS (now all bundled 
together in WDHT) apparently was a "happening" technology 2 or three 
years ago because that is when most of the documentation was written.  
There is really nothing new out there.  I have talked to IBM countless 
times in person and by email imploring them to update the 
documentation.  I even offered to participate in a Redbook residency to 
update the documentation if they ever offered one.  To no avail.

WDHT is a fine but very deep product and IBM has left it woefully 
undocumented....to Joe Pluta's glee, no doubt ;-)
