I tried to read your article, Chuck, and found confusion.  You imply that
this command does not have the same features as the one for AIX, apparently
solely because it's not a PASE tool.  Bear in mind that if it was PASE, it
would not work from QSHELL... you'd need QP2TERM/QP2SHELL for that.

I have used the i5 version, the DB2-for-SUN version and the DB2-for-AIX
version interchangeably, and have found no differences.  If I read you
correctly (and again, I had a difficult time discerning what's being said)
your primary complaint is that you're not sure about some of its support, or
something like that.  Is that about right?
