BDP .NET and dbExpress driver for iSeries DB/400 databases

PS.Data.iSeries.dll is a driver for connecting to iSeries (formerly called AS/400) databases via IBM's iSeries Access (Client Access/400) product through Borlands BDP .NET technology.

DBEXPCA400 is a driver for connecting to iSeries (formerly called AS/400) databases via IBM's iSeries Access product through Borlands dbExpress database components.

Requirements
------------
Delphi 6-8, Delphi2005, C#Builder 1 or C++Builder version 6.
An installed version of iSeries Access (formerly called Client Access/400) is required.

The driver has so far been tested with

iSeries Access V5R3
iSeries Access V5R2, SI08894
Client Access Express V5R1, SI06804
Client Access Express V4R5, SF67104 (23-Apr-2002)
Client Access Express V4R4, SF65706 (15-May-2001)
Client Access V3R2, SF67055 (final release)

On the OS/400 side make sure the latest PTFs are applied, especially if
you want to use the LOB features. The following DB2 group PTFs are
recommended:

OS/400 V5R3: SF99503
OS/400 V5R2: SF99502
OS/400 V5R1: SF99501
OS/400 V4R5: SF99105
OS/400 V4R4: SF99104

Currently most of driver testing is done with iSeries Access V5R3 against
OS/400 V5R2. For LOB support at least V5R1 of Client Access and at least
OS/400 V4R5 are required.
