To clarify:  

I believe the article states that just the 5250 client uses up 32MB of disk
space compared to 5MB for Synapse NetWolf and a skimpy 110k for the Linux
TN5250 emulator (see Roger Pence AS/400 Letter I got today).  My
understanding is that there are, in fact, 3 Client Access/400's under the
covers:

1.  The FREE Server piece:  CA/400 on the AS/400 (host services)

2.  The FREE Client piece:  CA/400 on the PC:  Ops Nav, ODBC, DataQs,
SUBRMTJOB, shared folders (network drives), shared printers (network
printers), graphical access, GUI/400, the AS/400 DLLs, etc.

3.  The billable Client piece:  CA/400 on the PC:  display, printer, and
file transfer.

When you install the Express Client Access it very clearly shows a column
labeled "license required? Y or N)
