Most custom steel rule dies are likely to run easily in the $50 to $100 range. Larger and more complex dies than the heart example below easily run several hundred dollars for a 1 up die. Actually cutting your project will range also in the $50 to $150 range per batch up to 1,000 units. There may also be additional design fees or prototyping fees required depending on the project. If that hasn't scared you off, you are ready to investigate a custom job involving a custom steel rule die.

We highly recommend you investigate your local craft store or scrapbooking club to see if they have some of the hobby die cutting tools that might meet your needs.

This guide presents the best practices in migration strategy and planning, migration tools, and practical migration examples. It is intended for technical staff involved in a MySQL to DB2 UDB conversion project.

This redbook also provides step-by-step instructions for installing and using the IBM DB2 Migration Toolkit (MTK) to port the database objects and data from MySQL to DB2 UDB.

Application programming and conversion considerations are discussed along with the differences in features and functionality of MySQL and DB2 UDB.

Examples are used throughout the book to illustrate conversions of database access, database administration, SQL statements (DDL, DML) and others, as well as testing and tuning your DB2 UDB system.

• "The PC/370 package provides the capability to assemble, link, and execute IBM 370 assembler programs on any 80x86 MSDOS 2.0+ micro computer such as the IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, Compaq, etc. " ~1988
• A more detailed description in an ACM abstract
• Based on ASSIST which was implemented as a batch 360 system ~1974
• includes lots of short example programs
• includes the source for a working full screen character-based editor
• I found it at http://www.ibmmainframes.com/downloads/PC-370.zip
• I put a copy at http://mshook.googlepages.com/PC-370.zip

    1      SEE DEMO                 invoke full screen editor to
                                    create DEMO.ALC 370 assembler
                                    source file.
