Has anyone try running Acu apps on Vista yet? Or are we waiting on Acucorp to release a Vista compatible version?

I made a couple of test with a Vista RC1 (pre-relaese) Ultimate and Wrun32 7.0.0 with local env. No network, multiuser and printing tests: only "file i-o & display": it seemes working fine. But it's not a certification...
bye Giovanni.

Giovanni,
Thanks for quick reply. Did you recompile under Vista, or did previously compiled (under xp/2000) apps work?

Hi, sorry for delay, I was out of office for some days.
No I do not recompile nothing at all. All .cob objects were the same running on W98/W2000/WXP.

I have compiled on Vista, and it does work, but when compiling a program file accessed via a windows 2003 shared folder it was noticeably slower than Windows XP. I do not know if there is any noticeable time delay when compiling a program file on the local hard drive. My PC has an Athlon FX-55 CPU and 4GB of RAM.

If the Acucobol compiler is part of the slow down(I do not know this for a fact), then perhaps Acucorp will better optimize the acucobol compiler for Vista in a future release.
