You can use the XP Virtual Machine under Win 7 for archaic XP applications.
(I'm still running MXG Business on the DOS version of DataFlex, in the XP Box on Win 7 Ultimate). -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Dunlap Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 4:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: RDz or RDzEnterprise developers Graham, The issue is not which version of RDz but rather which version of Windows. Even with RDz 7.6 the COBOL compiler would not install on Windows 7. IBM has not made, plus as I understand it, a COBOL compiler which works on Windows 7. I am in the same position, but do have a System z to connect to as a test platform. I too wish I could test locally on Windows 7.
