There are a a few good choices.  Unfortunatly IBM's BRMS is very
complicated. (On the scale from 1 to 10, about 32767).

Peter's system PAE is good, although it has some user interface issues.
However Peter is more knowledgable about the AS/400 than all of his
competitive vendors put together.  If I had to pick a system (and I've seen
all of them), I'd pick his.

IMHO, when IBM picked a vendor to purchase an existing system to package
BRMS as an LPP, they made a poor choice.

I agree with the prior remark that his post was inappropriate without
identifying himself as the vendor.
