- Assuming you want AIX/RS6000 info, you might want to try
- the AIX Technical Library that comes in CD/ROM. It includes
- 3.1 and 3.2 infoexplorer plus hone Q&A databases plus CE's
- APAR databases. The great thing about it, is that you query
- using infoexplorer instead of the arcaic query methods used
- in hone's mainframes. (and you can use X windows).
-
- You'll have to talk with some IBM rep since you have to subscribe
- to the library. They send you a CD every three months or so.
-
- The minus is that you'll have to find some extra 400MB for it.
