Re: The Linux Hole

To break my lurk-mode:

We have here Scott K, Leif, and others who during their spare time (not
to mention limited resources) can develop emulators, etc. How come IBM
could not port their Oops Haven't before going public with their support
for Linux? When did Linux become 'stable' and when did Oops Haven't come
out?

Leif, how does Ops Nav work at the moment? Is there a (pre) processor
task that is connected to a server task on the 400 that waits for an
incoming request and then serves the request? If so, why can IBM not
write or port just the portion of code required for Linux? I realize
that I am over-simplifyng this, but with the genii that IBM purports to
have (as well as the oodles of boodle!) this should be a walk in the park!

Cheers.

use does 6 main tasks for me.  After checking into each of them I find that
the only unsupported functions would be IBM's Client Access Express and
Operations Navigator.  This seems ironic that these two functions require
Windows with all the IBM push for using Linux.

ROTFLMAO! :)
