| Subject | CP/M COBOL for the Apple ][ - Please Help |
| From | m.omalley.au@gmail.com |
Tracked down CP/M COBOL, got it loaded under AppleWin, but having trouble compiling programs. CP/M COBOL comes on 2 disk images: * CPM_COBOL-80_A.dsk * CPM_COBOL-80_B.dsk Disk A: contains: linker (L80.com), Macro assembler (M80.com), cross reference map creator (CREF80.com) and includes 2 cobol source files: SQUAREO.cob and CRTest.cob. Disk B: contains the cobol compiler (COBOL.COM) and 4 overlay (OVR) files. This setup brings back memories of the MS-DOS tools I used to compile programs (especially Fortran and COBOL) back in the early 1980's. Everything looks complete. Assume I need to run COBOL.COM to compile the COB source file to generate some kind of REL file, and then L80 linker to create a COM file. (Not sure how the Macro Assembler M80 fits into the chain yet, but it's got to be before before the linker, L80). Nothing I have tried so far is working ... here's some of the commands I have tried just for the COBOL.com: A>B:COBOL A:SQUAREO.cob ?command error COBOL-80 v4.01 3-Oct-80 Copyright 1979,80 Microsoft * A>B:COBOL A:SQUAREO (same result as above) B: B>COBOL A:SQUAREO (same result as above) B>COBOL A:SQUAREO.cob (same result as above) I've tracked down user manual (Microsoft_COBOL-80_1978.pdf) and had a good read of the relevant parts, but the compile and link examples are for Fortran not COBOL (in a COBOL manual !!). Can anyone shed light on what I need to do ? TIA, Moose Moose's Software Valley (since July, 1996)
