Phil,

Look at all the TAATOOL utilities. What, if any, of them are release
dependent?

The system needs PKCS #1 thru 15 as open source api's, written in MI for
best performance and compatibility.

A better 5250 mode source editer would be a welcome addition to the system.

I can make a case for a 3rd party 5250 telnet server as the first step
toward being able to telnet to the as400 without the interactive job
penalty.

All can be done in a release independent way.

Regards,

Steve Richter
