IBM VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 and for Windows, Version 2, Release 1
   Workstation Debugger Upgrade for Debug Tool PTFs UQ13572, UQ13573, UQ13574
                   Description and Installation Instructions


IBM VisualAge for COBOL uses the Debug Tool (part of the IBM COBOL for MVS or
OS/390 Full Function Feature) as the debugger backend for the remote debug
function.  Debug Tool PTFs UQ13572, UQ13573, UQ13574 change the protocols
between the VisualAge debugger frontend on the workstation and the backend on
the mainframe.  If you are currently using the remote debug function with IBM
VisualAge for COBOL, Standard for Windows Version 2.1, you will need to upgrade
your workstation debugger after these PTFs are applied to the Debug Tool.

** Do not apply the Debug Tool PTFs if you have VisualAge for COBOL Version
** 2.0 or earlier.  If you do so, remote debug will no longer function.

** Do not upgrade your workstation debugger if you have VisualAge for COBOL
** Version 2.0 or earlier, or if the Debug Tool PTFs have not been applied.
** If you do so, remote debug will no longer function, and workstation debug
** may also fail.


Installation Instructions for Windows NT
----------------------------------------
Note that this upgrade applies only to Windows NT, not to Windows 95.  This is
because remote debug is not supported from WIndows 95.
1. Download idbg198w.exe to your COBOL root directory (for example, d:\ibmcobw).
2. If you have used the debugger since you last logged onto your workstation,
   you will need to close all programs and logon again (a Shutdown option),
   to release files the system may have loaded.
3. Open a command prompt and change the directory to your COBOL root directory.
4. Enter the command
          idbg198w -d -o
   This will cause debugger files in your bin, help, and messages directories
   to be updated.
5. Erase existing debugger profile files.  These are files in your
   WINNT\DPROFILE directory with name of the form *.@*


Installation Instructions for OS/2
----------------------------------
1. Download idbg198o.zip to your COBOL root directory (for example, d:\ibmcobol).
2. If you have used the debugger since you last logged onto your workstation,
   you will need to shutdown and restart your OS/2 system, to release files the
   system may have loaded.
3. Open a command prompt and change the directory to your COBOL root directory.
4. Enter the command
          pkunzip2 idbg198o.zip -d -o
   This will cause debugger files in your bin, help, and messages directories
   to be updated.
5. Erase existing debugger profile files.  These are files in your
   OS2 directory with name of the form *.@*
