Greetings and salutations,

I have been programming on the AS/400 for 9 years using RPG and Lansa.  Just
recently I was promoted to Manager of Info Systems.

I have serious interest  in Java and the thin client (IBM NS).  I am using IBM
VisualAge for Java and training my staff on the Java Language.

I would recommend staying away from the JDK and AS/400 Toolkit unless you like
pain.  An IDE makes life easier and VisualAge has included bean technology that
facilitates the use of AS/400 specific classes to access data, etc.

I just purchased Seagull JWalk (5250 to Java) to handle our legacy stuff.

I will keep the group informed as I progress.
