I've been using Linux for years, but only using it (network config,
web/html , email, ftp, and stuff like that), no real programming.
I've been writing Fortran, COBOL, and some C for decades in the
mini-mainframe world, started with Fortran/66 in 1983, then ansi74 COBOL
in 1986, very little C.
OpenCobol is my path to multi platform programming. I really want to
_thank everyone _evolved in developing OpenCobol.
There are other areas I need to conquer in a multi-platform environment,
GUI, DBMS, and System calls or intrinsics.
However, right now I can't seem to compile anything worthwhile! When
(not if) I get running with this, I'll be serious advocate for OpenCobol!

GTK is a UN*X toolkit, and a front end to the WinAPI.
It is rarely used on WinXP (even with Cygwin or MinGW).
A native WinAPI C application is relatively easy to write.
And since OC generates C code, it is easy to integrate.
Brian, maybe you could add an native WinAPI example to your FAQ, for
Cygwin (MinGW) users.
You can find a trivial example included in the TC source code [1]
(test.code/tgui02).
Hope this helps.
