| Hi, sorry for my english and my Cobol skills. I have a little question,
can i run an Acucobol Program what resides in a Unix Server from a
command line of a PC running windows 2000, and obtain/view the output (
like a DOS command, but using some Cobol Exe ) ?
Thanks,=20

Hi Martin,
The quickest and easiest way would be to use the "AcuConnect" product
from AcuCorp. This is exactly what this product was designed for.
You could also write your own client/server programs using "C$SOCKET"
command.

| Thanks for your help. The Acuconnect alternative did you mention is
using the thin client or another technique (like an EXE) ? I need to
access the program in a synchronously mode from a .Net assembly thats
wraps the programs call.

Hi Martin,
The Thin Client product and AcuConnect use the same base TCP
communication tools, but AcuConnect has no GUI component.
AcuConnect installs itself as a service on the host computer. Then any
other computer running AcuCOBOL can "call" any program on the host
computer just as easily as calling a program on the same computer (with
appropriate security and setup details).
