Interesting...  I messed with it long enough to get it to run once...

It's a Java app, running atop great wads of Eclipse code.  Uses GTK+ GUI.

Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get it to run a *second*
time.  It started up as root (required!!!), set itself up in /opt/ibm,
and claims to have laid down links, somewhere.  Not in /usr/bin,
evidently...

It's whopping big, but doesn't seem slower than OpenOffice (mind you,
OpenOffice is pretty portly ;-)).
