Environments
This COBOL system, or an equivalent, is available from Micro Focus for
many environments, including DOS, Windows, OS/2 and most variants of
UNIX. Programs written on one system can be moved to other systems
provided certain portability rules are followed.
The run-time system and native code generators are tailored separately to
each environment. However, they are all based on technologies for one of
the following:
* operating systems that use 16-bit segmented addressing - referred
to as 16-bit
* operating systems that use 32-bit flat addressing - referred to as
32-bit.
The 16-bit operating systems supported are: DOS, Windows and OS/2 V1.x
operating systems, running on the Intel 80x86 family of processors.
The 32-bit operating systems supported include all supported versions of
UNIX, and OS/2 V2.x. The 16-bit technology runs on OS/2 V2.x but gives
poorer performance than the 32-bit technology.
This COBOL system, for UNIX, is a 32-bit system.
