Sounds like a job for IBM's MQSeries. I can highly recommend MQSeries for something like this. It's available on most platforms (certainly OS/400, NT and many flavours of Unix) and it can run over either TCP/IP or SNA. It requires some coding, but mainly straightforward API calls. Examples and /COPY members/header files are provided. I gather it's very much simpler to use than sockets programming. You do have to pay for it, though. IMHO it's one of IBM's great unadvertised secrets -- a bit like the AS/400. -- Martin McCallion Midas-Kapiti International Work: mccallim@midas-kapiti.com Home: martin.mccallion@ukonline.co.uk Apologies for the length of this sig, but company policy says: This email message is intended for the named recipient only.
