Re: Global library list

Green Screen.  It is by seacrest. http://seacrest.com/

I'm not the AS/400 guy here.  Another person is and who knows I troll this
list to learn more so when he comes across something that he can't remember
or know, he tells me to ask you guys. :p

Between him and this list, that is what I have learned all my AS/400 stuff.
I am the server and desktop and programming guy. :p

Thanks for all the info.
