RE: VisualAge RPG for AS/400?

["Winchester Terry" <terry.winchester@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

At the Fall 2005 Common, I attended the VARPG intro class
class and the instructor (whom I believe was named Clauss) 
indicated that a VARPG executable could be run directly 
from the IFS if the user has a drive letter mapped to the 
iSeries.  

I haven't confirmed this - maybe one of the other VARPG
experts can chime in...
