Bob, If the applications are written in ANSI or POSIX C you can port them to run on the AS/400 with some modifications for the different operating systems. There is no way to run them without conversion. But we've done several UNIX to AS/400 ports and it can be done. Relatively painlessly if the developer had portation in mind. Can be a nightmare otherwise. At one time IBM maintained a web location that discussed UNIX conversions to the AS/400. You might try doing a search on the www.as400.ibm.com web site. You will also find Redbooks on the subject of porting UNIX applications to the AS/400. Try this link: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/infocenter.html You will find a lot of help in this list, too.
