Yes, great software and one of the best features is an ability to read and edit files from other developers.
-
Great program with lots of useful tools.

I've used many Cobol compilers over the years on IBM, DEC, Unix, Windows, etc... I'm pleased with OpenCobol. It supports Cobol-85 well. There's a community of developers that provide enhancements and documentation. Their discussion forums are helpful. And it runs on Linux, Windows, and others. This is a serious compiler.

I've just started working with it, and have been very satisfied the results. A few difference in syntax from my current compiler, but so far very happy.
-
Fast and good compiler - use CE version (available via svn) for full power and use search in the old forum at opencobol.org for lots of knowledge.

Great project
