Installing COBOL-80 4.65

The archive contains more files than you need to be able to compile a COBOL program and execute it. You need to transfer these files:

cobol.com
cobol1.ovr
cobol2.ovr
cobol3.ovr
cobol4.ovr
coblbx.rel
coblib.rel
cobloc
crtdev.rel
l80.com
runcob.com

The crtdev.rel is the driver for the terminal, and you copy one of the following to crtdev.rel: cdadds.rel, cdansi.rel, cdhz15.rel, cdperk.rel, cdwh19.rel, cdadm3.rel, cdbee.rel, cdisb.rel, cdsroc.rel, cdzeph.rel

Compiling

To compile squaro.cob you type:

A0> COBOL =SQUARO
A0> L80 SQUARO/G

To save the absolute version in a disk file without executing it directly, type:

A0> COBOL =SQUARO
A0> L80 SQUARO/N,SQUARO/E
