To Prepare Your Application for Use in a Non-distributed Environment

1. Code your application as usual, or use an existing application. If desired, include some of the plug-in specific library routines or fields described in "Coding for the Plug-in." Be sure to refer to the special coding considerations listed at the end of that section.

2. Compile your programs with ACUCOBOL-GT Version 4.0 or later. When you compile with ACUCOBOL-GT Version 4.0 or later, the resulting object file is capable of being executed from within a browser on any Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT machine that has the plug-in installed.

3. Configure the plug-in runtime if desired. Click here for more information.

4. Link external C routines into the plug-in if desired. This procedure is described in "Linking C Routines into the Plug-in Runtime."

5. Package your COBOL objects and resources into a single library file. If you are using ACUCOBOL-GT Version 4.1 or beyond, you can also bundle a configuration file into the package if desired. If you are using Version 4.3 or beyond along with Acu4GL, you can also bundle XFD files into the package. This procedure is described in "Packaging Your Application and Resources for the Plug-in." Note: If you have a single-object application and you are not using a separate configuration file, there is no need to package your application into a library.

6. Include the library file in your Web site. Click here for more information.
