While AS/400's don't run Unix or Dos, files can be accessed from Unix and Dos platforms. There is a TCP/IP kit out ther for them, and there is a LARGE amount of pre-written database stuff, available through many different sources. I do realize that this drifts off the newsgroup's topic, but the origional poster *Did* ask for further comments. :-) -Paul B. Davidson -- Paul B.
