OpenCOBOL MinGW (32-bit) edition.

This version was build using VB-ISAM as the ISAM file option.


Prerequisites to run compiler binaries:
- A version of MinGW installed on your system.
- Compiler, run-time and module load and run utility.
- Support libraries GMP, PDcurses and ISAM, must be installed on your system.
Note: The compiler can be run from a CMD console, and does not require MSYS.


Prerequisites to build MinGW compiler from source:
- A version of MinGW installed on your system.
- Support libraries GMP, PDcurses and ISAM, must be installed on your system.
- A version of MSYS installed on your system.
Important note:
The build scripts are based on automake tools, which require MSYS tools to 
run properly.

Installation using setup or zip files:
- Install compiler and support libraries (as required) in the MinGW directory.
  The default path is 'mingw-dir/local' (ex: C:\mingw\local).
- Add the BIN path (ex: C:\mingw\local\bin) to the PATH environment variable.

  NT/Win2K/XP/Vista/Win7 users (CMD):
  The environment variables are set in the registry on a global or per user basis.
  Use the properties sheet to set the environment variables values.  

  Example (W2K user level):
  Left-click 'My Computer', select 'properties',  select Advanced on the 
  System properties tab, select 'Environment Variables' option.
  Change the 'PATH' System variables and append the OC binary path.

  Example: PATH=...;C:\mingw\local\bin

- Open CMD window and test OC (cobc --version or cobc --help).
- Try test compile and run from CMD window using a COBOL source 
  Examples:
  exe: cobc -x -v test01.cob
       test01.exe
  dll: cobc -m -v test02.cob -o test02.dll
       cobcrun.exe test02
