    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!
