RE: as400 as a samba/nt client

["Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kind of a side issue, but have you considered compressing the files with
a ZIP-style utility?  Example: I just compressed the V5R2 Handbook and
it went from 12.2MB to 5.4 using the WinXP native compressor.  While you
research your long-term storage strategy, this should free up 1/2 or
more of the space currently being consumed.

Is there a CPROBJ equivalent for IFS files?  I haven't noticed one.

i know its a strange request but there is no hidden agenda.  its not a 
few web pages that need to be moved - its 2 years worth of pdf's and 
call detail records.  i could free up about 100 gig of space on the 
as400 by moving them.
