Re: Buried in the Announcements ---

Here are a few highlights of interest:

Hardware Requirements

An AS/400® or iSeries Server with the PASE environment (Model 600 or
later) 
is required. The TIFF, GIF, and JPEG to AFPDS transforms require a PC 
running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows NT™ with 
Service Pack 4. 

Software Requirements

Infoprint Server runs on OS/400® V5R1, or later releases. 

Performance Considerations: The rate at which print files can be 
transferred varies significantly depending upon the objects being 
transformed and the transform parameters. It is not usually possible
to predict the rate at which a file will be transformed by simply 
looking at the documents to be transformed. The rate of transform 
can be expected to be less than high-speed printing rates for most 
files, especially at high resolution.

Transform rate for simple-to-transform bjects, such as text, 
may reach high-speed printing rates when transforming at low resolution. 

Transforms are very process-intensive, and will use as much processor
power as is available to them. Transforming rates will be proportional 
to the amount of processing power made available. Transforming at 
high-speed production volumes may be more appropriate on small, 
dedicated AIX® servers from a cost-performance point of view.
