Hello Stephen,

I tried downloading Qilan to try out the Derby manager. Is it only 
available for Mac?

The file I downloaded (the only one available as far as I could see), 
was a Mac image (.dmg). I know these supposedly can be converted to .iso 
images and then I can mount/burn it, but that seems to be jumping 
through a lot of hoops :)

Kristian,

The Qilan image file is designed for the Mac OS.  The Qilan Data Base  
Manager (QDBM) is a web based tool built with AJAX.  We do not  
provide this separately (yet).  QDBM is part of our Tomcat  
installation.  I think it may be best for you to wait till we release  
our next update (due in about a month or so).

So, in sum...  When you download Qilan, you get the Qilan Developer,  
Tomcat, Derby, and QDBM.  All the configuration is done for you so  
that the parts work together.

Sorry,
