Don't be surprised. DB2 is a natural migration path for mainframe shops that have legacy data in flat-file based "databases" and want to move to a RDBMS on their big iron. They can then move down to DB2 on smaller hardware platforms like RS/6000. The surprising thing is how much data is still out there (soem estimates are as high as 70% of all corporate data) in the flat files.
