“With cgiCOBOL, Web Server Applications can harness all the
power, flexibility, and proven reliability inherent in the standard
Interactive COBOL runtime system, including a full-featured data
management subsystem. This high-performance subsystem implements
robust simultaneous shared data access capable of supporting

distributed access using a client/server model.”

“The company’s newest product, cgiCOBOL, is specifically
available for the most popular Apache HTTP Server running on Red
Hat Linux…”
