Re: ACCESS to IFS

Hi Harry,

As long as you are in mood for banging your head against the wall, can I
suggest another approach ?

Use User spaces and user indexes to create your own file system on the
as400.

Then code whatever it takes on the tcp/ip network side to provide a network
interface to your file system. ( so a windows pc can access your as400 file
system )

The objective being:
- an as400 that is a much better performing file system than what ibm
provides with the IFS.
- increase the knowledge base of all re: network file systems.

Happy New Year,

Steve Richter
