Compilers

  • COBOL for gcc (620)
    This compiler is candidate to be added to the GNU collection.
    The package is not very complete, and still in development.

  • IDE for msCOBOL 80 (637)
    A Integrated Development Environment for msCobol 80, found on Google Code.
    Beware! You need DOS and a lot of manual input. The interesting feature is that it contains a copy of the early msCobol 80 compiler. The project claims to be open source. Give yourself a head start!
  • openCobol (656)

  • tinyCobol (601)
    The tiny COBOL project is a COBOL compiler being actively developed by members of the free software community. It generates GNU assembler code, thus requires the GNU assembler and linker programs to create an executable binary. The long term goal is to produce a COBOL compiler which is ANSI COBOL 85 compliant, or as close as possible to it.
