I wrote a series of courses on AJS two years ago. My understanding is
that Brian Younger worked for IBM when he designed and developed the
original version of AJS. When he moved to Pinnacle, IBM had to pay him
to make updates. Apparently, they got the copyright on at least the
text-based version as part of the deal. (Can anyone else confirm this?)
Since then, IBM added a System i Navigator interface, followed by a
Navigator for i interface. The newest features are only available in
Navigator for i.
The biggest problem I had was that IBM seems to assume that there is
nobody using AJS who didn't start with the 1990's version. I had to
learn concepts from the last green-screen manual Brian touched, written
for 4.2. While there is a manual for System i Navigator, it covers only
the stuff added to the first version of the graphical interface. I had
to teach myself the Navigator for i version by playing with it for a
year. Like most Navigator for i interfaces, manuals and documentation
are nonexistent.
<plug>As far as I know, my 3-course series
(

description of AJS functionality.</plug>
