Micro Focus COBOL for UNIX, Getting Started

Overview 

You can configure many of the Micro Focus Development tools to modify
their behavior or look and feel.  The current configuration of a tool is
held on disk so that it behaves the same whenever it is run.

The configuration is held in two files:

DOS, Windows, and   On DOS, Windows, and OS/2 the two files are mf.ini 
OS/2                and mfuser.ini 

UNIX                On UNIX the two files are mfcobolrc and .mfcobolrc.

                    In both cases, the first is the global configuration
                    file, the second the local configuration file.

                    These two files contain the configuration of many
                    tools.  You need look in only these two places to
                    configure your system.

                    Using two files enables the system to support a
                    networked or multi-user environment.  The global
                    configuration file stores installation-wide defaults
                    for the tools.  The local configuration file for each
                    user modifies these defaults without affecting any
                    other user.  This file must be in a writeable
                    directory.
