Tools/400 started in 1997 as a collection of freeware for AS/400 programmers. Today it is the home of plug-ins for IBM Rational Developer for i, of the Peek/400 file editor and of many utilities and service programs for RPG and CL.
Most tools are my own work. iSphere and Rapid Fire were created by Frank Hildebrandt, and I have developed them further. iRPGUnit grew out of RPGUnit, which Lacton started in 2006 and Cyril Clemenceau continued; Mihael Schmidt started the plug-in, which I took over and extended.
All tools are free and open source. Sources, releases and issue trackers are on GitHub:
- github.com/tools400 — Peek/400, utilities, service programs
- github.com/tools-400 — iRPGUnit, iRpgFormatter, IFS Projects, JCRCMDS for RDi
- github.com/rdi-open-source — iSphere and Rapid Fire by Frank Hildebrandt
Feedback
Feedback is the motor that makes the tools better — and better tools make our daily work easier. Please report bugs and ideas as an issue in the GitHub repository of the product.

Thanks
Many people contributed over the years: Antón Vigo, Marco Alberici and Alain Lotzer translated Peek/400. John Fox and Sam David helped with WSDL2RPG. Dirk Storch developed the LSTOBJ service program together with me. Thank you!
