I am concerned about what I have read about DOS going away.
I use Microsoft COBOL internally and for a few of my small clients. Applications were written over 10 years ago and
have DOS programs and Batch files.
Will I not be able to compile any longer under XP? Will programs continue to work if untouched? Would they work
if I recompiled them to Windows? Does converting to Windows require more than recompile? Would that automatically give me access to Print manager, etc. without doing any fancy API calls?
I would appreciate the feedback.
