RE: possibly OT: developing for AS/400 on other archs

IBM allows applications on other platforms to access the database using
industry standards like ODBC.  If another platform has ODBC support, it will
talk to the iSeries.

You must have a very interesting application if it must run on Windows, Mac,
and Linux.

This is probably off-topic - if there is a better place let me know and
I'll post there.

I want to develop some applications that run on winblows, mac, linux,
whatever but access the DB on the AS/400.  I know ASNA makes a product to
do so on win32, but you have to buy their product :(  Does IBM have a way
that is platform independant (or ported to many platforms) that allows
apps running on other machines to do database operations on the AS/400?
Hopefully something similar to the MySQL or Postgres API?
