Re: AIX vs AS400

Yo,
Y'all are misunderstanding the word "Emulator". There is life beyond 5250
emulation. That is not what he is talking about. He is talking about
emulating the whole IBM i platform on AIX.
Perhaps it was hard for you to grasp because most of us would simply fire
up an lpar (or vm) of IBM i on the same box. The closest thing to
emulating IBM i under AIX I can think of would be a reverse of what we do:
Have IBM i host AIX by virtualizing internal disk as a host to a guest lpar
of AIX.

It's not a big compile. Try it once, if it works you are home.

Bryan,

I wonder if the binary RPM would install on AIX since it's possibly
compatible.

Worth a try if you need a terminal based emulator and don't want to try
building it.
