Is anybody else still running Realia Cobol 4.217? We have run it
successfully under Win95/in98/WinNT/Win2k/WinXP, using the FORCEDOS command
to make it work in NT/2k/XP. All was well until we set up a test system
with XP SP2 installed.

Most of the programs work perfectly. The exception is when we try to debug
a program. The COMMAND session locks up when trying to run debug
(REALDBUG.EXE) on a machine running XP with SP2 installed.

We suspect it has to do with DEP (Data Execution Protection). However, we
are not using CPUs that use hardware DEP, and we've tried disabling software
DEP every which way, but we still cannot debug programs.

Any (ANY) assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

How about an upgrade to the latest Realia workbench r3.3 (includes
COBOL 6.2)? It's fully XP SP2 compatible and has lots of other neat
features.

I’m also in this quest. I originally paid 500 for Realia Cobol 3.0 and then a nominal fee to upgrade to 4.2, Now CAI is asking me to pay 7.000 plus 21% sales tax. I’ve got only two small customers using a down sized system which is also running in main-frame. Under no circumstance can I request them to pay this amount, between both of them their spending less than 300, a year on maintance.
Please advice me if you have any alternative.

Odd - I just read a news release dated a couple of years ago from CA which effectively stated "go back on support for $150/license, and you get to take advantage of Workbench". Seems strange that they would make you bend over to the tune of $7k if they were going to make that kind of a deal not too long ago...

This is in Argentima, when they opened a branch here they even wanted to charge a fee on existing systems that were developped with Realia.
This quote of $7,000.- I got it in writting from CA, Argentine Branch.

It has been a while since I've revisited this subject, but I was wondering if the CA rep could get me some info on upgrading Realia Cobol?

Thank you.
