Re: Stupid AS/400 web site tricks

["Roger Pence" <rp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry--

Thank you for looking. I was searching only the
http://www.as400.ibm.com/techstudio site. Which returns no hits for the
proxy server and the hits it returns for the tech studio site don't work!
Thanks for the reality check--in a way, you've added fuel to the fire, not
put it out. Why, oh, why, can't a search from either
http://www.as400.ibm.com/techstudio or www.as400.ibm turn up a hit?

Thanks again.
