RE: Scanning the iSeries (IFS) for Viruses

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can't speak for Tom, but scanning a machine, whether Windows or iSeries, is 
inherently slow because of communications. Everything has to be transferred 
to the PC in such a case. So native will be faster, unless the integrated 
solution works.

Same lag occurs when trying to zip something on the 400 from a PC. Faster 
to download the thing, then zip it. Unfortunately, in my experience, jar 
and gzip (available free from IBM) are slower native on iSeries than, say 
WinZip, on a PC.
