Torque install

Hi, I'm a software engineer trying to get Torque 3.1 installed & configured.

It is no easy task. The Torque download directory has two archives a "torque-3.1" and a "torque-gen-3.1". Which one do I get? Both maybe! The torque-3.1.zip file had a CRC error.

I've been following along with the Tutorial (http://db.apache.org/torque-31/tutorial/step1.html). It appears to be written for 3.1 - BUT it seems to have the 3.0 file names and dir structure in mind. As the 3.1 doesn't unpack into the same structure that the 3.0 does. I don't know the thinking on this... just a bit of inconsistancey.

I found that I needed to be connected to the internet to get the torque builds to work... that got to be a pain - so I downloaded the DTDs and droped them in a new dir in the torque/dtd/database_3_1.dtd then changed the reference in the file bookstore-schema.xml like so !DOCTYPE database SYSTEM "file:///D:/Apps/torque/dtd/database_3_1.dtd" that will keep the internet connections down (yes I've got a dial up and it's slow too).
