getting into it all again. However, I will just make a comment to
clarify Joe's statement below.
Zend PHP for i not free. The Zend Platform is actually quite
expensive,
and as I understand it even the Zend Core is a for-fee product; IBM is
just shipping with the first three years of maintenance waived, but
after that it costs.
Zend Core for i is no charge at present as is the basic support
package. Zend's original deal with IBM was for a three year period
(i.e. it was not a 3 year "warranty" after which you had to pay).
That arrangement expires (I assume) in mid 2009 - since GA was in mid
2006. To the best of my knowledge, both IBM and Zend intend for that
arrangement to continue on into the future - but the details have not
yet been finalized. The likelihood is that a similar deal will be
available on into the future - at least I hope so. But things change
so who knows - At one time I thought I'd have an up-to-date version of
WDSC available for "free" forever but that dream has ended <ducking
and running>.
The Zend Platform (which now includes 5250 Bridge) is where Zend look
to make their money.
