I've never used it but I did meet one of the main developers at Easysoft
who did a talk at my local Linux user group recently. As I understand it
there is a beta product of unixODBC that runs in PASE, and he mentioned
their intention/desire to rewrite it as a iSeries native product. I
can't remember quite where I saw it, but IBM have done some publicity of
this ODBC beta for iSeries - if I find the reference I'll post it.
Easysoft are based less than a mile from where I work, so maybe I should
ask them about progress on it ;-)
