RE: news400 goes negative on IBM?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don, I'm not an Oracle person. I just read the website. If I read it 
correctly, A/M resides on the 400 and gives you read/write access to the 
Oracle database. The other direction is handled by another product, 
Transparent Gateway for DB2/400, with which you hit DB2/400 tables from the 
Oracle host.

Look at otn.oracle.com/products/gateways/am4as400.htm for Access Manager 
for AS/400
Look at otn.oracle.com/products/gateways/tg4db2400.htm for Transparent 
Gateway for DB2/400

I'll be interested in what you learn.
