Hello list,
We are looking for someone with experience on the as/400 (running
os/400) platform, particularly in legacy environments. We are porting
an application to as many architectures as possible. We know very
little about as/400, but we have had some customers request support.
Does anybody know the answers to the following questions?
*) is it possible to compile C with gcc (superficial search seems to
indicate no)?
*) if so, with what versions?
*) newer versions seem to run aix binaries. Could a ported aix binary
read files off the os/400 filesystem and do something with them (ftp
for example) for backup purposes?
*) newer versions seem to have virtual machine technology...
*) other than built-in tape backup, does anybody have experience with
3rd party backup agents?
*) in modern terms, is aix and/or windows commonly deployed on top of os/400?
We have a acquired a number of legacy and (used) enterprise platforms
to compile on. Of course, we will subscribe the more interesting
architectures to the buildfarm.
off-list response is of course preferred. If you can answer our
questions but get paid for your time, feel free to respond.
Basically, we are looking for a os/400 expert who is familiar with
porting applications to the platform, including older versions.
