Re: Where do I get drivers to allow a GIS software package

The installation can be limited to only iSeries Navigator and the data access components - ODBC driver, OLE/DB and .Net providers. The installation is quite simple using Windows networking - point Explorer to \\host-address-of-iSeries\qibm\proddata\access\windows\install\image\setup.exe and take the custom installation - uncheck everything you can!! Keep only the data access components that you want.

Absolutely no limits on licensing for this functionality.

Good luck showing all this - oh - you might want to also choose to install the User's Guide.
