RE: NT vs AS/400 -- MIDRANGE-L

I have a client who is in the process of taking a system originally designed
for a PC and deploying it as a completely client-server web-based
application on the AS/400 (includnig generation of PDF reports).  They're
close to going live.  They did this for centralization of data, reliability
and security, among other things.
