AcuXUI is an optional cross-platform user interface engine that allows graphical ACUCOBOL-GT programs to exhibit their user interface on UNIX and Linux platforms as well as Windows platforms.
As always, graphical controls -- such as windows, entry fields, and radio buttons -- are described in the COBOL program with ACUCOBOL-GT. However, with AcuXUI, rather than directing the Windows OS to create the controls, the runtime directs the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to create the controls on a Java desktop. For this reason, the controls can run on most operating systems, including UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh. The Java desktop can also run on Windows.
