RE: QSH and PASE

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

QSH and PASE are not directly related.  Basically, QSH is just a POSIX type
shell environment that is completely native to OS400.  PASE is an AIX
compatible environment that is managed by OS400, but mimics AIX address
space.  PASE is used to port UNIX software so that it can run as a native
OS400 application.

Subject: QSH and PASE



Someone asked me today if they can 'install Unix on a 400'.  I told them 
that I believe the iSeries has a built-in Unix environment called PASE, and 
that you create a logical partitition to install and run Linux if they 
wanted to go that route instead.  But I'm not altogether clear on just what 
QSH and PASE are, or what I can do with them.

What can I do with QSH and PASE?

Is QSH just the command used to get into the PASE enviroment?

Can I somehow take Unix code and run it on the iSeries (with appropriate 
tweaking)?
