FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
MOST PORTABLE COBOL AVAILABLE--Acucobol-85 produced remarkably compact, yet highly optimized, machine-independent object code. With Acucobol-85, users could develop sophisticated COBOL applications and execute them without recompiling on A/UX, AIX, MS-DOS, NETBIOS, OS/2, ULTRIX, UNIX, XENIX, AOS/VS, and VMS.
WINDOWING--Developers could create better-looking programs by adding the friendly simplicity of window. Gave them help screens, pop-up windows, pull-down menus and more.
SPEED--Acucobol-85 compiled fast, executed fast, and paineds screens fast. In fact benchmark tests showed Acucobol-85 is up to ten times faster than other COBOLs.
STANDARD--Acucobol-85 was NBS certifiable error-free under the High '74 and Intermediate plus '85 ANSI standard.
TOOLS--Acucobol-85 provided and array of tools to assist the developer including DATABASE INTERFACES (Oracle, Informix, etc.), Symbolic debugger, Replaceable file system (C-ISAM, B-TRIEVE, etc.), Interlanguage communication capability (C, FORTRAN, Assembly, BASIC, or Pascal.).
