Re: VisOC and /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I've discovered a new command in VisOC,
CBLLINK.EXE, which does what I want. Quite a nifty command, as it has
the smarts to know if your program is using any externals (ADIS for
example), and with the -t option, create a stand-alone executable that
links in the libraries so that your program doesn't need any external
support libraries. It also makes it a true 32-bit console .EXE that
doesn't open a new console window when executed, which solves my
problem.

While I like the GUI interface for project management, I still prefer
the good ole' console, so I'm compiling and ANIMating in MF Cobol 4.5,
and when it comes time to create the final .EXE, I'm using CBLLINK.EXE.

I'm quite impressed that I didn't have to change any of my old DOS
Cobol 4.5 source code files before making them into 32-bit console apps
with CBLLINK.EXE. It's the smoothest upgrade I've ever done.

Thanks,

Joe
