Re: Software Mall

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The software mall definitely has iSeries software, but it is a list you have
to investigate carefully. I't will not include the OS itself, or the
Websphere Develop....toolbox/pak/whatever it is called today that actually
has the compilers in it.
But it does have MQ for iSeries, Connect, various Websphere packages, and
much more. Unfortunately the web list is a "sample of titles". I'm in the
Partner program, have investigated the option, just have'nt need to put my
$600 (per year) down, but if I needed the $10-20k version of some of these
titles, it definitely is worth it. Developer purposes/demo only.
