RE: IBM overhauls iSeries for the long haul

Never implemented it.  I thought it had never been released.  We have a guy
in our company who was on the development team for WordPerfect for the
AS/400.  I thought the app had never gotten out of the door.  Let's see...WP
was bought by Novell and then Novell sold WP to Corel...so would Corel have
the source code for the AS/400 version now?  They should release it as open
source...we could use a mega-thousand dollar machine for word processing.
Although the mail merge/ data merging would be slick.

WP/400 or would that be WPi ?
