One of our vendors converted their application from NetExpress to Visual COBOL and we have programs that interface with their system so we are having to make the jump to Visual COBOL as well.  I am using the same method of invoking a GNT as previously done under NetExpress using the RUN command but am getting this error message.  Not sure if I need to add a folder to the PATH statement or something else entirely.  Also, the GNT is compiled under 6.0 but trying to run against a 4.0 version of Visual COBOL on another server.  In addition, when on this 4.0 server, merely typing in RUN at a command prompt results in the same error.  

Load error : file 'MFRUN.gnt'
error code: 179, pc=0, call=1, seg=0
