[open-cobol-list] R: Developing COBOL/CICS Programs

[Fabrizio Calabretta]

CICS implementations are available also for UNIX, Linux e Windows.

They are provided by XFRAME (www.htwc.com), Unikix (www.clerity.com),
TX/Series (www.ibm.com) and Microfocus MTO (www.microfocus.com)
Of course all these are commercial products.

XFRAME is the only that supports OpenCOBOL. With XFRAME (since 4.2.1, that
will released in few days) you can mix,
CICS, OpenCOBOL and RDBMS (DB2 or Oracle only with opencobol)
