COBOL/HP-UX Getting Started for the Series 700 and 800
General Features
Simultaneous Release
Version 3.0 of Micro Focus COBOL , which is the basis of COBOL
Toolbox, is being developed on five leading development environments
simultaneously, with only a slight staggering of releases into
production.
There is one product for DOS, Microsoft Windows and OS/2, and a separate
one for SCO UNIX 386 and RS/6000 AIX (and other UNIX and UNIX-like
platforms).
Operating System Extensions (OSX)
A single copy of the Micro Focus Operating System Extensions (OSX)
product is now bundled with and included in the cost of this product. It
provides a common set of operating facilities across multiple operating
systems, currently including DOS, Microsoft Windows, OS/2, and UNIX. The
facilities included in OSX are documented in your Toolbox Operating
Guide, but are separately distributable as part of your application
systems. A separate OSX license fee is charged for such distribution.
Many of the features of OSX are part of the technology underlying COBOL
Toolbox.
