Daniel, The December Street Talk has some info about vendors who do this. http://www.news400.com/streettalk/street1298.htm Basically, you have a few Choices: a) Brandenmark - very expensive, but very full featured. Also arrogant <not nice word censored>....well, that was just my opinion. If money is not an issue and you need everything, this is probably your solution. b) Mid-Comp international (www.midcomp.com.au ) has a nice product for $200. You can download a free trial. c) Bug Busters (www.bugbusters.net ) Suggested price of $575, but you pay them what you think it is worth. d) Bavarian Consulting (www.bavarian-cons.com ) I think is somewhere around $150. Made in the USA by a fellow Midrang-L'r who is trying to feed his cats <g>. Not many bells and whistles, but it does work. And of course, you can "roll your own". But with the price of the last 3 products, it would be easier to use one of those. And all of them create a set of files that you download to your PC. You then use the CD Rom authoring tools that came with your CDR drive to actual "burn" the CDR. All of them put the data on the CD in a Save/Restore format. The main thing that separates Brandenmark from the rest is a) do you need a tape drive during the process and b) do you write your own QINSTAPP (for LODRUN processing). IMHO, the tape drive and QINSTAPP is not worth the several THOUSAND dollar price difference. Besides, there are plenty on this list who can help you with QINSTAPP & LODRUN. It really is "a piece of cake".

As for creating this CD-ROM, I'm a a loss here. I know there is one vendor out there (Bradenmark, aka Centerfield Technology) that has a product which interfaces with a CD recordable device on a PC and the AS/400, but is this the only way? I want to include our user manuals as well. Any thoughts? Suggestions? I've searched the web countless times on this and keep coming up short. And again, in essence, I want to create a CD that I can install software from on an AS/400. I know there was a CD-ROM juke box for the 400 a while back, but not sure if this is the right way, not to mention I want to make this as cost effective as possible. Daniel R.
