BACKGROUND:
We're running WAS(5.1.1.9) on the i5 (v5r4), and have a batch process
running on Windows that connects to it.

We have need to access an IFS share from WebSphere running the iSeries. Easy
enough - just reference the IFS folder name.

PROBLEM: The batch process running on Windows that needs to access the same
file by the same name.

IOW: We need to be able to access the file as \\iseries\share\file.xml
<\\iseries\share\file.xml>  from the windows server, and also as
\\iseries\share\file.xml <\\iseries\share\file.xml>  from the iSeries, or
perhaps as I:\file.xml from both.

Having written this, it's more of a general i5 question.  Going to submit
with apologies anyway in case someone has encountered.

Thanks
Joe
