3.00 3.00a MS-DOS

Summary: If you are using Microsoft COBOL Versions 3.0 or 3.0a on a Novell network, you cannot print to a network printer from a server when the Spooler is loaded. You can print only from the nodes (workstations) with the Spooler loaded. When the Spooler is not loaded, the situation is reversed; you can print only from the server and not from the nodes. Microsoft does not claim compatibility with and has not tested COBOL 2.x, 3.0, or 3.0a on any network other than IBM PC-NET. Microsoft does not encourage or support development with COBOL 2.x, 3.0, or 3.0a under any network other than IBM PC-NET. For more information on compatibility with Microsoft COBOL and Novell, query on the following words: Novell and compatibility and COBOL
