You get a copy of XM from the same computer from which
the GNT, data, and other files came. XM versions match
Micro Focus COBOL versions; though the version numbers
are not identical. For example, COBOL 3.2.24 came with
XM 1.4.6. Using a version of XM that predates the COBOL
version may not work.

XM runs on Windows 95, 98, etc, and Windows NT,
2000, etc,; though probably not Vista and maybe not XP.
