We're talking one iSeries Access for Windows licence here (for the server)
and I'm pretty sure anyone you want to distribute your application to (given
that it accesses an iSeries...) will already have that?

Still I take your point and I look forward to the day when the MDP (Managed
Data Provider) will be shipped with .NET

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...
