Products from Liant Software Corporation
Stiearc has been the Australian distributor for Liant since 1984.
Originally we chose RM/COBOL because of its extreme portability and reliability but as our relationship grew with Liant we came to appreciate that their level of support is second to none. And when you need to depend upon a technology over the long term this is what counts.
The RM Product Set includes a comprehensive portfolio of integrated tools that enables you to maintain a single set of source while deploying applications on the most popular open platforms.
You retain the reliability of COBOL while integrating existing applications with today's technologies.
It's all possible with Liant's comprehensive suite of solutions, which supports the best of existing systems and open platforms, providing an easy path to integrate, modernize, and transform your COBOL applications. Liant's technology enables the separation of the presentation and logic layers of an existing application. This allows different interface technologies to access the same application and data for true distributed computing across the enterprise.

- RM/InfoExpress - Remote File Sharing and Management
- RM/InfoExpress is a powerful file transfer mechanism that optimizes shared access to remote RM/COBOL data files across the network. From the moment it is installed, RM/InfoExpress transparently enhances file transfer on networks with heavy read/write traffic and with no special coding required.
- Cobol-CGI™ - Common Gateway Interface
- Cobol-CGI is a remarkably easy way to integrate your COBOL application with the Internet's World Wide Web. So easy in fact, that you can have your first COBOL program connected to the Web in a matter of minutes! With Cobol-CGI you directly connect your Web pages to COBOL programs. No need for a Perl interpreter or scripts. No need to rewrite your server programs to be event driven. Cobol-CGI makes it easy for your COBOL application to communicate directly with the Web.
- Cobol-RPC™ - Remote Procedure Call
- This implementation of RPC specifically for RM/COBOL allows for the development of distributed applications without extra development effort. With Cobol-RPC you can deploy your application across LANs, WANs, and even the Internet, using Windows or UNIX servers.
- WOW Extensions™ - Windows Object Workshop
- WOW Extensions gives you an easy-to-use, integrated development environment that supports screen design, coding, compiling, and testing in a modern visual environment. The "object oriented" approach to Windows controls and their many properties makes it easy to maximize the rich features that Windows provides, and to directly call over 150 Windows API functions, which gives you significant flexibility.
- InstantSQL™ - Database Access With RM/COBOL
- InstantSQL provides a simplified way of using popular relational databases directly from within your RM/COBOL application.
Relativity allows legacy data from sophisticated MicroFocus or RM/COBOL applications to be retooled as a full-featured relational database.
Relativity makes integrating legacy data into distributed client/server applications a straightforward and efficient process.
