I do notice that terminal cursor placement (DISPLAY-AT) isn't always the same on different devices.  On the simh console set as VT100, it works properly, a terminal connected via putty to the DZ device prints the escape sequence.  Still puzzling that one out.  It may be a configuration issue with the DZ connections.  I've got a few other irons in the fire developing a printer emulator etc so this really isn't a serious priority.

Well, maybe not strange, really, but interesting.
The name of the program apparently gets put in the symbol table so
if it shows up later as data item ( or in my case a paragraph name )
it is already defined.  And, another is the WITH CONVERSION option
is needed where in more modern compilers like GnuCOBOL it is accepted
but is only seen as a comment.

I am sure there are others but nothing standard violating just
different.  I always have fun trying COBOL programs on different
systems to see what is need to port them.
