      HI all-

      I see where you can do something like this ...

      after cobc.exe -x init.cob

      I just have to figure out winmain now.

      thanks

          There is a flag like -fwinmain or similar (just try or check cobc/flags.def).

    J McNamara,

    Are you trying to build the GNUCOBOL compiler from source code ?

    if so, I can send you a script that I use to build it using the MSYS2 build environment.

    Chuck Haatvedt

    ps... my SKYPE name is chuck.haatvedt and I'm usually available there as well for online assistance.
