Thanks Vernon.

sc41-5740 - cae host servers looks to be a host servers operators guide.
Does contain some documentation of the host server exit programs though. You
could not write a Linux open source client access clone from it.

from sc41-5740:
"These servers are used by Client Access Express, but are designed so that
other client products can also use them. Most of this book focuses on how
these servers are used by Client Access Express."

from infocenter, IBM Toolbox for Java:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/info/rzahh/page1.h
tm
"IBM Toolbox for Java uses the iSeries Host Servers as access points to the
system. Because Toolbox for Java uses communication functions built into
Java, you do not need to use IBM iSeries Client Access Express to use
Toolbox for Java. Each server runs in a separate job on the server, and each
server job sends and receives data streams on a socket connection."

Is the IBM Toolbox for Java open source?

Does IBM provide the Linux open source community documention on the data
streams expected by the Host Servers ?
