MFUSER program won't run in Micro Focus

| Hi
Recently I ported an updated version of one our COBOL programs called
"MFUSER" from the Unix environement to Windows where we use Micro Focus
Object COBOL 4.0.38. The program would never execute. With the Animator
I get the message "Cannot Animate".
I plugged aways at this for a couple of hours removing parts until it
was just a few lines. Finally having tried everything else it occurred
to me to rename it. Wouldn't you know it ran normally. I brought back
the original longer version and it also worked.
Does anyone have any ideas? What is special about this name in Micro
Focus?
Thanks
Elliot

| Elliot,
MFUSER.INI is the name of a configuration file used by Net Express. That is
why the name is special.

| Hello eselick,
This is an unfortunate name clash with the Micro Focus supplied mfuser.lbr
found in the COBDIR\LBR directory of your Object COBOL 4.0.38 product.
fyi - The mfuser.lbr main contains help files used by various tools.

| Hi Stephen
Thanks for the information, I guess our program has been reborn with a
new name.
