RE: Delphi & AS/400 Development

Our GUIs are written in Delphi. We don't use much
database access - more API calls - and we apparently use
sockets - we have a server on the 400 that we connect to
from clients. Data is formatted into character strings
on the 400 and passed back to the client, which knows
how to parse things.
