AS/400 Operations Navigator
AS/400 Operations Navigator is a powerful graphical interface for Windows clients.
With AS/400 Operations Navigator, you can manage and administer your AS/400
systems from your Windows desktop.
You can use Operations Navigator to manage communications, printing, database,
security, and other system operations. Operations Navigator includes Management
Central for managing multiple AS/400 systems centrally.

This new interface has been designed to make you more productive and is the only
user interface to new, advanced features of OS/400. Therefore, IBM recommends
that you use AS/400 Operations Navigator, which has online help to guide you.
While this interface is being developed, you may still need to use a traditional
emulator such as PC5250 to do some of your tasks.

Windows PC. For help in connecting your Windows PC to your AS/400 system,
