Re: A Library is an IFS Directory???

David,

Like Martin wrote: Everything is in the IFS.  While you (and many others)
weren't watching <g> IBM did an amazing trick with the AS/400: they built an
'integrated file system' around the existing libraries and changed the
libraries into a (somewhat special) subdirectory of the root.  So to
experienced AS/400 users everything looked as familiar as ever, but suddenly
to experienced Unix and Windows users the AS/400 looked familiar as well.
