Re: IBM DA400 replacement???

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard is correct, but the base package that includes the portions you are
referring to can only be downloaded from the Entitled Software Support
(ESS) site.  Use the ACS web site to guide you through finding it in the
IBM i downloads, it is a bit convoluted, but easy once you realize where
the software is packaged.  The ACS web site has step by step instructions
on how to find the code.
