Certainly not the first time, I'll wager it won't be the last :-P

But you DO require the iSeries Access installer... so here is my question: I
have an installer that I created through client access to install just the
MP.  Of course, it is a bloated warthog, because it also installs the
"Required Programs" (of which I thought the emulator was part).

Since this doesn't need a license, can I redistribute it to my clients with
no trouble?

Yes, that would be superb... but alas, I fear IBM would never do such a
thing...
