iSeries (AS/400) Utilities Downloads

You will find below some e-books on the iSeries (AS/400) with many general purpose utilities, freely distributed under GNU Licence.

All the e-books include an XML file that can be used to install the programs on your iSeries or AS/400. The installation is done by one utility that is included in the XML file and that is described at the top of XML file and in the Craig Rutledge AS/400 Tools Web site.

Since we have noticed that the copy and paste often did not produce the XML file with the correct format, we have also included a separate link that allows you to download a zipped text file directly to your PC. You should then unzip it and transfer it to the AS/400 (e.g by FTP). Once the file is on the AS/400 you should copy it into a member of a source physical file (use CPYF with FMTOPT(*CVTSRC)) and then just follow the instructions at the top of the XML page.

Linux Downloads

Linux Documentation and training:

We have found a useful Italian publication, developed by Daniele Giacomini, which could be defined as a Linux Encyclopedia. It provides a lot of useful information and it is distributed for free under GPL licence. It is usually included in the Debian distribution.

The original Italian version can be read on-line from Daniele's site Appunti di Informatica Libera .

We participate in the translation of the publication into English and you can download a tar file called Notes on free computing with the translated chapters.

If you know the language and want to participate in this translation project, please send me e-mail.

I remind also some very useful downloads, included in other pages of our site such as:
