Asking where to find source for A and getting pointers to B is like asking where 
to get Italian food and being pointed to a Mexican restaurant. I am trying to 
avoid training time, because there's no budget and people who think AIX is the 
one true OS *will* ask for a shop order for training, just to be obnoxious.

AIX users are no different than Windows or Solaris users, some confuse 
preference with religion. And the claim that changing scripts to use dig will 
take a bit of time appear justified, one programmer said dig was the "most 
obscurest crap" since he learned APL.

I may be able to get the AIX source, possibilities abound.
