Advanced PC-Host File Transfer
|
| |
Overview
|
| |
via BOSâNOVA provides flexible and powerful file transfer between a midrange host and standalone, LAN-based, or remote PCs. No PC Support components are required, significantly reducing resource utilization. AS/400 and System/36 versions are available.
Sharing files between PCs and AS/400 or System/36 hosts offers a level of integration not attainable using emulation alone. With via BOSâNOVA's built-in capability to convert host data into popular PC file formats, incorporating data into PC spreadsheet and database applications is fast and easy. |
via BOSâNOVA converts host data into
popular PC file formats. |
|
Windows users will benefit most, with an advanced user- friendly front-end which is part of every BOScom Windows emulation product. Install the host software and all users already connected to that host are ready to go.
Note that via BOSâNOVA operates without any PC Support components. PC memory requirements and AS/400 overhead are minimal. |
