Racke,
	The last part of the email is a legitimate question, which I would 
like to know myself. I'm pretty handy with Interchange and I've been able 
to stumble through and learn alot, however good documentation would be 
nice to have at your side. I was worried that the documentation sold by 
redhat is a rehash of what's already online. I will always spend money on 
good documentation, but it must be good documentation. All the work done 
for us by the many people who do the work on IC is always appreciated.
