Charles Roth's IBS Resources & Log Page Last revised: 3 May 2001.

This is my top-level page for tracking and saving information about my work at Interactive Business Systems.  It includes a variety of resources and links that may be useful to other IBS personnel. I can be reached at croth@ibsentg.com, or (best) roth@thedance.net, or 734 542 9137 x 1883.  Nothing on these pages represents any official position of or information from IBS.

General Resources:

• Collected WebSphere Links.  Pointers to IBM WebSphere information that I've found particularly helpful.
• Netscape 3 vs Netscape 4, a summary.
• Passwords.  Important ids and passwords for WebSphere on our E250 Solaris box.  (See me in person, these can't be posted on the web.)
• Joust Extensions: improvements I made in the "Joust" menu navigation/outliner package, that IBS used for Pico II and NSK.

• Remaining Danly Items (IBS personnel only)
• Custom tables defined for Danly.
