     I picked the CD demo at the STC annual in DC last year.
     I loaded it, nosed around a bit, and trashed it.

     I'm sure that IBM put a great deal of talent and money
     into this product, but the demo is sooooooooooo bad.

     I had some difficulty determining how the product
     organizes data and handles navigation, because the
     awful graphics kept my full attention.  Why they didn't
     take the time to clean up this stuff is beyond me.

Hello:
Management just got a great idea: let's put hardcopy online. "Carl, see to it;
here, use BookManager."
Specifically, the goal is to create softcopy books on the AS/400, using
BookManager -- which is incorprated into the 400 OS V3R1.
I've successfullty ported a legacy WordPerfect doc into BookManager, but this
stuff looks ugly! Has anybody else the dubious honor of having to work with this
stuff? Any tips?
