Re: installed IBM i Access for Web

As to sunsetting the Windows client, it does look that way. There is very little that is not in the web-based navigator anymore.

But we shall see. I don't see the Java-based one as a sub for navigator, instead, I see the web-based one there. Which seems a direction you do favor, right?

However they're running into user interface issues. And much of iSeries
Access is heavily depending on user interface. After all, can you take
this new java based version and run it on java capable handheld devices?
No. I am thinking it's a wasted effort to replace the iSeries Access for
Windows product. And, what concerns me more, is that they may use it to
sunset the iSeries Access for Windows product and iNav's replacement will
be the port 2001 product.
