    Yes, great software and one of the best features is an ability to read and edit files from other developers.

    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.
