AS/400 Client Access for Windows 95/NT (5763-XD1)

The 32-bit Windows client called AS/400 Client Access for Windows 95/NT client (5763-XD1)
was initially introduced into the Client Access family in June 1996. Enhanced releases of
this client were made available in November 1996, February 1997, February 1998, and
September 1998. On 07 March 2000, IBM announced that the Client Access Family for
Windows (product number 5769-XW1) plans to remove the AS/400 Client Access for
Windows 95/NT client (5763-XD1) and the AS/400 Client Access Enhanced for Windows 3.1
client (5763-XK1) from the family in releases following OS/400 V4R5. This information was
published in Announcement Letter 200-035 entitled "IBM AS/400 Software Updates and
Planning Information". Technical Support continues to be available for the Windows 95/NT
client and the Enhanced Windows 3.1 client until 31 July 2002. Therefore, customers
currently using these clients should start formulating plans to migrate to the strategic 32-bit
Express client within the next two years.
The Windows 95/NT client has many of the same capabilities as the Express client. However,
it has not been enhanced since OS/400 V4R3 so it does not have many of the new
capabilities in PC5250, Data Transfer, Operations Navigator, nor does it support Windows
2000, as the Express client does. The following table shows a high-level view of the
differences of these two clients.
