The point is, I wouldn't run windows if I could help it. And you can believe me, if I had an AS/400 at home, I would connect it via PPP or xDSL to the internet, and you would see all the internet clients as shareware for AS/400's real fast. I would first write a true e-mail client (like netscape mail or Eudora pro works), HTML browser (sans pictures), newsgroup reader, IRC client, etc... I love programming internet clients, and have written my own for Windows many times, but since there are so many out there, I don't feel there's a need. I feel there is a need on AS/400's, albeight a small one, and so wouldn't feel I would be wasting my time by writing them. Regards, Jim Langston Eric Kempter wrote: > That's interestig Jim.
