[archive] AcuCobol not "True" Windows

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 12 April 2004]

I have an accounting application written in AcuCobol. Many times people claim it is not "true" Windows. Are there any good articles anywhere that respond to such a charge? I have all graphical screens making use of all the window controls, looks like most other accounting window applications.

Now, that triggers me. But I need to have more information before I can provide something.

What I would need, are example of statements, e.g. what do they claim.

Their claim is most likely referring to one or multiple parts of your application, in which case I also need to know (e.g. see) what they are referring to. Hence, I might need a screen shot or two. These may of course be sent in private if you'd prefer that.
