Hi Ken

The joker with Protos is the runtime library, which the generated COBOL
calls, and which you would need migrated or replicated on the new
platform.

It's not impossible - you just have to reverse-engineer what the library
does, and provide that to satisfy the calls your COBOL code makes.

Indeed, maybe one or more of the migration toolkit sellers already has
this.

As the Image and VPLUS needs migrating anyway, this can be incorporated
here.
