Sending AS/400 objects via PC, email, etc.

["David Shea, DCSoftware, Inc." <dcsoft@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some time ago, a friend of mine at IBM told me how to save objects from the
/400 down to the PC.  This used the CPYTOSAVF and CPYFRMSAVF commands from
QUSRTOOL.  The process was to:

1.      Save the objects to a save file.
2.      Copy the save file to a physical file using CPYFRMSAVF.
3.      Download the PF using PC Support.
4.      Reverse the process at the other end.

This has worked before, and I have even successfully distributed software
via email attachment.

But...

Since IBM doesn't give away QUSRTOOLS any more, some people can't compile
the utility.

Does anyone know of another method to accomplish this task?  Diskettes are
just soooooo much cheaper than 3490 and DLT tape cartridges...

Thanks.
