I agree with you, so if anyone knows of any such new iSeries installations, then
please post them (I don't necessarily need to know their names).

In addition, since I imagine that, by legacy systems, they mean 5250, which of
you is developing (or knows of other companies developing) on the iSeries
client/server (thick or thin) or using Java or CGI or VRPG etc., to develop
non-5250 interfaces?

Best wishes
