AcuServer provides remote data and object file access services to ACUCOBOL-GT applications that are running in TCP/IP networks under UNIX, Windows NT (Intel), Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows, and Extended DOS. Since AcuServer supports TCP/IP networks, it gives your applications:
the ability to access remote files over the Internet
the ability to create and store data files on any UNIX or Windows NT (Intel)
machine equipped with AcuServer. Note that the same machine can be running Web
server software.
full function remote access from UNIX, Windows NT (Intel), Windows 98, Windows 95,
Windows, and DOS clients to all Vision, relative, and sequential data files and
ACUCOBOL-GT object files stored on an AcuServer server
AcuServer does not require any changes to your existing application code. (Some applications that contain hard coded paths to files must be modified to use the FILE-PREFIX or CODE-PREFIX environment variable, or to include the name of the file server in the path.)
AcuServer does not require that you recompile your existing programs. Programs compiled with any version of ACUCOBOL-GT can be executed with any AcuServer-enabled runtime. Client-enabled runtimes are available for most UNIX, Windows NT (Intel), Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows, and DOS platforms.
