Re: HTML to PDF Generator (X-Server on i)

Thanks, Charles

We already have PTL installed on a box here, I'm disappointed that IBM have chosen to break most of the links to the old PartnerWorld porting site, where this was available.

In the QAPTL library is a source file called README - that has some installation and configuration information. Then there are the IFS pars in /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools & /QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools that have some docs for some of the stuff.

There was good information at http://www.iseries.ibm.com/developer/factory/tools but that now takes you to the general i on Power page - I will put in a question about where it is to be found now.

Vern,

The link for the FAQ is broken and the search instructions given to
download the product don't return any results.

If you want 5799PTL, use the link I provided earlier.

bring you to a page where you can then go to an FAQ and all that. It
used to be downloadable - might still me, according to this site.

So yes, Scott did get X server running on the i. If I remember correctly,
there was some other example that I thought was from Scott where he had an
entire desktop running. But it may have been from someone else...

Thanks, Crispin. To clarify, X is the Bell Laboratories graphical user
interface on which Windoze was based. (Using a very broad brush, it is
the
"Windows" of Unix. It's also sometimes referred to as X-Windows.) An X
Server provides a graphical login to terminals that might connect over the
cloud.

I wonder how difficult it would be to get wkhtmltopdf
working on i in Pase?

Well, I stopped considering it when I read, under Features, "... the

X11

client must be installed." I am not administrator on the systems

that I

use, so haven't had opportunity to work with this. But I'm fairly

certain

X
client is lacking on the standard i installation.

Brings up an interesting question. Has anyone on this list

successfully

installed and exercised an X server on their System i?
