Visual COBOL is the development tools just like Microsoft Visual Studio. Not a server product.
Being certified on Workstation OS makes more sense to developers.
I expect 3 improvements in next release version of Visual COBOL:
1. Being certified on Workstation OS, at least REDHAT Enterprise Workstation, even better if on Ubuntu LTS version. --- I volunteer to be a tester !
2. Using 64-bit Eclipse, because 32-bit Linux will be extinct and rarely used. For EFI based computers (new PCs manufactured from year 2015), there is even no way to install 32-bit Linux.
3. Installation process will ask user to confirm (y/n) to install all dependencies (missing packages) automatically, not require user to install missing packages one by one manually.
Thanks.
