Marty,

I was going to mention that as well. VNC works great in that environment and it is "native" in the sense that PASE is a native runtime environment for AIX (vs and AIX partition). We use it all the time and have installed editing tools, browsers and other AIX GUI apps.

I just assumed that Doug was referring to "native" as in i5/OS so I didn't respond.

VNC in PASE is cool though. We run MySQL in that environment as well. Not many boxes allow all those concurrent options, although the whole virtualization movement seems to be gaining strength on all platforms.

Funny you should mention that, Doug, as I just did. There's a VNC server in the 
"Portability Tools" PRPQ, 5799-PTL, which can be downloaded for free from IBM. 
I don't have a link handy but just do a Google. You might check it out when you have some 
time. -Marty

It can be argued that the System i5 still can't do GUI even with HATS ,
etc..
We still need a GUI enabled client (OS) to display a graphic interface.
When I can do a native VNC connect to the system and see GUI then it's
there.

As for the 5250 "killing" the system that depends on the application.
