RE: cae on linux

Thank you Syd.

Very odd that IBM says they support Linux, yet dont support the CAE APIs on
Linux.

If they did, I could port my windows C++ code to Linux much more easily.

What would be great is if IBM documented the CAE server jobs that run on the
iSeries. The ones that the dtaq, rpc and database CAE APIs call into. Then
Linux open source code could be written to access the iSeries resources.

So far, CA/400 does not run on Linux. I hope IBM will remedy this soon.
An Ops navigator written in Java would be ideal.

I use TN5250j for Green screen sessions to AS/400
(tn5250j.sourceforge.net). I have also used TN5250. TN5250 has much
better performance, but I never got to grips with the keyboard mapping.

Standard FTP is fine. I have also used JDBC for database access.

I haven't tried any of the other CAE features under Linux. It is
possible that there are sites on the internet where these issues have
been solved.

I also haven't tried running CAE functions under Linux using Wine. Some
of these might work.
