Hi Olav

I think you will find that there was an update from HP printed in the
May/June edition, where basically HP said whilst these things had been
created internally to help with migration, they weren't actually tools,
just bits of code & stuff that they had to help them do this stuff. And
that they were in no way shippable. Also if you read between the lines
they were also saying that there were a lot of better real tools
available.
