Just wondering,


I don't have any knowledge of C, Visual Basic, Delphi and so on.

I have a customer who wants to make simple basic drawings (shapes) like in Microsoft Paint.

1. Is it possible, using AcuCobol to produce such software ?

2. If not, which language do I have to studdy to give him the best results ? ... Delphi ??

3. Otherwise, can I use the data from out of Paint to calculate with it ?

There are ActiveX drawing components on the market that may be helpful. For instance the Polar Draw Component: http://www.polarsoftware.com/products/draw/index.asp
You should be able to use a component like this in your acucobol programs.
