MacMidrangeThe Apple® Mac OS Solution for IBM® AS/400® Client Access Connectivity

Now you can access the AS/400 from your Macintosh with a family of product solutions in a single integrated package. Developed around the same core code as IBM’s Client Access for Windows and OS/2, the MacMidrange Client from NLynx Systems is true AS/400 Client Access software for Apples’s Mac OS. MacMidrange Client allows you to connect a Macintosh or clone to an AS/400 and perform tasks such as sharing files, terminal and printer emulation, and to view your files in graphical format. MacMidrange Client also supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) for database serving.

Mount an AS/400 volume like any other remote Macintosh volume, then create, delete, and copy files and entire folders to and from the AS/400 with a simple click and drag of your mouse. QDLS (Office Vision) files are automatically translated to your favorite Macintosh data format for use on your Macintosh.
  • More Ways to Use Data. MacMidrange Client lets you make more effective use of your data. Now you can arrange and organize your databases in the ways best suited to meet your needs.
