Performances improvements

Also the bidirectional RPC client server communication was improved to minimize TCP/IP traffic on some GUI controls like TREE-VIEW and W$MENU
Compatibility with other COBOL vendors
Many areas of the isCOBOL's compiler and runtime, where enhanced to better support special syntax of AcuCOBOL-GT, Micro Focus COBOL and RM/COBOL. Also starting from this release, isCOBOL's compiler is able to compile special syntax from Microsoft COBOL.
isCOBOL acts as a bridge between the old and new at Donatos, enabling us to minimize the impact of our migration to Java by allowing users to continue using a familiar application while providing the flexibility and freedom to execute a transition plan on the company's timetable.
