    Hi federico-

    Is it correct that guicobol is going to be windows? I see a lot of cygwin references i n the files.

    If that is the case, I will set up cobol to work on cygwin.

    If it still can be used on linux though, please let me know.

    I have to read more on file permissions on cygwin. It is the last thing I put off reading about because file permissions on windows is a very deep topic and I don't want to bork a cygwin install messing with them.

    thanks.

      Should work everywhere. Cygwin may be easy because its package manager via setup.exe. MSYS2 should be even easier via its pacman, same for most GNU/Linux distributions.

    Actually I am working using windows 10 so if you want to manage it under linux
    you have to change the size of some records in the agarcob.cbl library. You have to comment the appropriate line : linux or Windows depending on you want to run the package.

    In general I have found lots of mistakes fighting under window but I have almost solved all t hems

    above all some call static must be required under windows and generally working under linux is more simple.

    The last build is always available at github (right now I am adding code for internal procedures..link closed form .. and others to check the maxsize reached during an input to a text field. But lots of work still to perform. But in general guicobol has several nice features. In my mind I would like to add some specialzed "invoke" to make it stronger. Last months I added the menu object
    actually I am studying the tabs objects and other about lists.

    The goal could be make a complete list of gui object and after write a gui editor for guicobol also.
    some like "PAGE" of phython..just to give you an idea.

    Due to the covid period I am nost working so hard about this project.. but it is always going ahead.
