2.1 Requirements

To use AcuServer:

1. All servers and UNIX, Windows NT (Intel), Windows 95, Windows, and DOS clients must be networked with TCP/IP.

2. All servers must run the portmap or rpcbind daemon.

3. All servers must have a copy of the license file from Acucobol. This must reside in the same directory with the acuserve executable.

4. All UNIX servers must run acushare, Version 4.0 or later (see section 2.12 of the AUCOBOL-GT User's Guide). The latest version of acushare is included on the AcuServer distribution media.

5. All DOS clients must run PC/TCP Kernel Software, Version 2.3 or later, from FTP Software, Inc.

6. Windows clients can run any TCP/IP software that uses a WINSOCK compliant WINSOCK.DLL.

7. Windows NT (Intel) and Windows 95 clients can run any TCP/IP software that uses a WINSOCK compliant WSOCK32.DLL.

8. All clients must have an ACUCOBOL-85 or ACUCOBOL-GT client-enabled runtime. Use the "-v" option on the runtime command line and look for the line "AcuServer client".

Portmap network service

Portmap network service, provided by the portmap or rpcbind daemon, is part of most UNIX RPC implementations and is typically packaged with your RPC software. For SCO and NCR Tower UNIX systems, RPC is offered as part of a software add-on bundle that includes NFS. Contact SCO or NCR for details.
