RE: SEU vs. ? -- RPG400-L

Scott,

Maybe I'm not getting what your say, but isn't it more you want them to do is a 
version of their clients (CODE, WDSC, OPsNavegator, CA400, etc) that will run 
under any operating system. ie: Unix, Lynx... etc even the dreaded Windoz?  If 
so it would have nothing to do with the OS on the iSeries (other than it's 
interfaces thru API's and LIPI's), but everything to do with a version of the 
Client code that could run under brand-x OS on a PC

They sort of use to have this with CA400 (PCS400) when they did a version for 
Win-3.x, Win-NT, DOS and OS2 (if I'm understanding you statements correctly), 
but yes it would make since to have a version that could run some other OS 
other than Windoz, but I'm sure it's a marketing thing (as well as a support 
issue).

Or maybe I totally don't understand the comments.  If so just ignore (happens 
to me all the time at home!).

I'm obviously not getting my message through!!!

I'm explaining why I can't/won't use CODE or WDSC to edit source!

IBM makes a version of Unix called AIX.  PASE is a way to run AIX
applications on the iSeries in an "AIX emulation environment" of sorts.
Yes, they make X11 for AIX.   Yes, they make VNC for X11.  Great!  How
does that help me run CODE/WDSC/OPSNAV/etc???

Yes.  Running Unix software on the iSeries can be "kludgy."  Hmmm... maybe
that could be why I suggested a native version?

Since we're talking about IBM writing their main GUI software for the
iSeries in this environment, I'd expect that they'd make it a standard...
if not, it would become the defacto standard just because everyone would
have to use it to use their iSeries.
