Henrik, I can't agree that you can't get free i resources. If a person can get along on an earlier release (V5R3), there are free timeshare options that are available 24/7 (at least one has been mentioned here). And IBM's virtual loaner program gives you V5R4 and up. The latter forces you to request a new reservation every 16-17 days, but that's not the worst thing I can think of. You are able to save your work and use the image to start the new reservation.

So you do pay something - some inconvenience.

One can learn a lot of ILE RPG at V5R3.

BTW, the Open Access: RPG offering is installable on the virtual loaner programs - it's there in the images with which you can install other licensed programs. It's kept in the 7.1 directory and installs in both 6.1 and 7.1 - so you CAN work with it freely. Donations and thanks can be sent to my personal benevolence fund.

Now are you saying, since you suggest others do it, that you have spare space to offer to participants on these lists?

:-)

pay one way of the other exactly as you pay for the milk in the supermarket.

I'm sure you can find someone in the forums that could provide you to that
service.

Gent's - use your network - it is a matter of trust !
