AFP is supported, there are quirks.
I've never used IBM's overlay desighers. As long as you can use the
customized print drivers for AFP you can creat the overlay.
If you're using Windows/10, IBM's drivers no longer work (they're not
'signed'); you have to use a Ricoh driver (which seems to have all of
the options the IBM drivers used to have).
Either way, you create a *.prn file on your PC.
Uploading the *.prn file to the iSeries using ACS is... interesting.
You can no longer provide the name of a file on your PC and the
destination library and let iSeries Navigator do the dirty work.
With ACS you have to upload the *.prn file to a destination in the
IFS, then the overlay utility lets you provide the IFS location and
the destination library to move the *.prn and create the *OVL object.
A lot less convenient!

What is no longer supported is the 5770-AF1 product, Advanced
Function Printing __Utilities__ - my emphasis on __Utilities__ a la
Chuck Pence' newsgroup formatting! :)
There is no indication that the AFP data stream and protocol are no
longer supported - just this and one other tool for designing pages.
(InfoPrint Designer is also no longer supported - I thought that had
gone away some time ago.)
So an unfortunate over-enthusiastic misunderstanding, eh, what?
