RE: [WEB400] A Library is an IFS Directory???

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems to me that it is.  Try wrklnk on one of your master files.  I just did
and it found it.  You can also, if you have the share set up, see qsys.lib
objects in Windows Exploder.  If you can translate ebcdic on your pc, you
can display them in a human readable way.

I think there's a semantic distinction here that escapes me, since I look at
the IFS as a way of looking at a heterogeneous collection of file systems in
a conveniently unified way.  I think the IFS is one of the most interesting
things about the iseries, and one of the most ignored.  It could work better
than it does, but what it can do now is pretty darned intersting.
