Re: VisualAge Cobol Compiler prob on XP Pro

LOTS of problems doing this. I strongly suggest downloading a free
copy of VMWARE, then load and run an Windows NT4.0 instance of the
compiler under that. Works great.

Hello,

Has anybody had any experience upgrading from an old Windows NT
Thinkpad with VisualAge Cobol V2.2, CICS for Windows V3.1 and DB2 V7.1
to a new platform with upgraded software.

I tried going to a new XP Pro laptop with the old software and the
experience was brutal and failed.

Specifically the Cobol caused all kinds of nightmares. It installed,
programs compiled, but they all failed upon execution with the same
'The application failed to initalize properly (0xc0000005)'.

Any suggestions please/thanks.
