db documentation

hi is there a good data dictionary tool out there for a db2 database on linux or mac. Could only find some win apps. maybe something wiki like or html generator.

Thanks

A: 

I assume you want a tool to create some documentation (data model etc.) for a db2 database and not the db2 documentation?

If so these two questions should help:

If you're after something that will create a "data dictionary"-type document (list and description of tables and columns) then you're right, the best ones I know of (ERWin, ERStudio) are Windows only.

Suggestion: edit your question above to indicate that you were looking for a data dictionary tool, then add druid as an answer to your question below, and accept it. You'll be helping other people who are looking for a data dictionary tool by making the question and answer obvious.
