Hello Dave,

Well, only parts of IBM but the point is true.  No AS/400 tools from Rochester 
or Toronto seem 
to get any OS/2 attention.

Toronto have the AS/400 Toolbox for Java -- OS/2 by default because OS/2 Warp 4 
has a built in 
JVM.

Toronto have announced a TCP/IP direct version of CODE/400 for Windows but no 
mention of OS/2 
on their web pages.

Rochester have stabilised Client Access optimised for OS/2.  It only supports 
TCP via ANYNET 
and is back-level in functionality.

Why?  Because most AS/400 shops use windows.

Just because we (Chris, Dean, and I) are in a minority doesn't make us wrong!  
*8)  Nor does 
it mean we need knuckle under and run an inferior OS to get a few superior 
applications.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
