Baby/36: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:05, 2 March 2019

An emulation of an RPG II development environment running on a IBM System/36 originally published by California Software Products in the latter half of the 80s for DOS but quickly followed with an OS/2 version and later with versions for Microsoft Windows and Novell Netware as well. The system allowed you to develop and debug software for the System/36 (and S/34), to use the system as an alternative to a S/36 and run RPG II software on the Baby/36 as a single user or optionally a multi-user system, but you were also supplied with an RPG II compiler for DOS that allowed you to distribute applications to PC customers that were running plain DOS, that however required a license fee based on each program you delivered in a PC format.

Version

Baby/36 version 8 (1998)

Runs only on Microsoft Windows NT or 95, adds ODBC compliance, a new GUI and links to Windows printer drivers. First B/36 system that is Year 2000 compatible, adds CALL/PARM support like in RPG III and a RPG/400 compatible compiler.
