IF the OS/400 is still there, you would be cool. IF the version is V3R7,
that
is another story. P05 is "around" $1,000 -- 1500 for OS/400. "ANY"
version
of V4 is OK to sell with the machine. The LIC pgms are where you have to
pay up. Maybe you will get lucky and they have V4R1 on them. As I
recall,
P05 for RPG was "about" 1K and PDM was about the same.

$500 for a risc machine ain't too bad(but it depends).
