RE: re : DVD-RAM Drive in new machine

For your information, we are distributing iSeries applications on CDs,
running with LODRUN. 

We do the following steps:
- SAVOBJ qtemp/qinstapp to DVD: restriction: no compression, no compaction
- With OpNav, go into IFS, and find QOPT
- "copy" the file QTEMP
- "paste" on your local drive
- burn this file on a CD with closing session

This CD can be used with LODRUN command.

It worked since V4R5M0.

Thanks for your willingness to do this. No rush, at your convenience, of 
course. Are these things rewritable?

As I suggested, try a program that does something harmless - you may 
already know this, but it just needs to be named QINSTAPP and saved from 
QTEMP with SAVOBJ.

BTW, nice testimonial from Tupperware.
