RE: Client/iSeries/IBM i Access functionality

Then I a misinformed by my contacts at IBM. It's possible the user groups
(LUG) changed IBMs mind about Windows 8 support.

That's a fairly recent development.

You sure about that?

I installed it on Win 8.1. Seems to be working fine.

You're in luck. Access for Window does not even support Win 8 (any
flavor) so it most defiantly won't support 10.

All I can say is that this ISV knew nothing about iACS until I asked
about support last May, I even had to provide them the IBM documentation.

I'm holding out hope that i Access for Windows won't support Win10,
and that'll get the ISV moving. iACS is a much better program and
I'll relish never having to sit thru another i Access for Windows
install. Well almost never, there are a few things you still need i
Access for Windows for, but that's a story for another day.

The Personal Communications 5250 emulator (which is what was delivered
with the V7R1 iSeries Access Client) has been out of support for at
least 2 years or longer, therefore there is no excuse for an ISV to
not have a new solution available. The ISVs also knew about the end
of support for Personal Communications for at least a year or more
before that.

No excuse for that falderal.
