With the latest version of OS/2 Extended Services Database Manager
it is possible to connect to AS/400 with OS/2, DOS, and Windows
acting as application requesters, via the DDCS/2 product.
An OS/2 implementation of the DRDA architecture.
In that case DOS or DOS/Windows would install the DBM client code,
connect to a DBM multi-user server on an OS/2 machine.
On top of this OS/2 DBM you would have to install DDCS/2 multi-user
version. Connection to AS/400 is via LU 6.2, APPC.

C is one of the supported languages.
Communication is handled by OS/2 Communications Manager.
In fact your application doesn't have to be aware that it is talking to
a remote AS/400 database. If it uses the SAA SQL subset,
it could run unchanged on an OS/2 database or DB2 database, etc.
I hope this is of use to you.

I work for Gupta Technologies, Inc. in Menlo Park, CA.  We
make frontend and backend database tools, including
a C/API that runs with MS Windows.  We are about to
release _SQLRouter for AS/400_ which will let you use
our C/API to connect to SQL databases on an AS/400.

The connection is not through NetWare.  Instead, its uses
IBM communications software (I do not remember the name
of the package).  You can run the IBM comm. software on
the same network as Novell.  (Most of our other products
do run on NetWare.)

I do not have any more details, but you can call our
office in Germany:

	49-89-7481210

If Gupta Germany cannot help you, then call this
number in the USA:

	410-224-8315
