Neither, its pronounced Linux, like Linda with an ux.

I am currently working on porting our COBOL/Image application to Linux using
HP Eloquence & the Timy Cobol compiler. I don't know anything about view
because we have our own home-grown screen handler. We will either port our
screen handler or rewrite it as a GUI on the client.

Once I actually get data out of Eloquence using Cobol I intend to post some
info to the list and maybe set up a web page/site where we can collect all
the gotcha's for porting to Linux.
