    GnuCOBOL

    GnuCOBOL

    A free COBOL compiler

    GnuCOBOL (formerly OpenCOBOL) is a free, modern COBOL compiler. GnuCOBOL implements a substantial part of the COBOL 85, X/Open COBOL and newer ISO COBOL standards (2002, 2014, 2023), as well as many extensions included in other COBOL compilers (IBM COBOL, MicroFocus COBOL, ACUCOBOL-GT and others). GnuCOBOL translates COBOL into C and internally compiles the translated code using a native C compiler. Build COBOL programs on various platforms, including GNU/Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. GnuCOBOL has also been built on HP/UX, z/OS, SPARC, RS6000, AS/400, along with other combinations of machines and operating systems. Copyright 2001-2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

    This project has moved to GitHub ! The version here at SourceForge will remain for historic purpose. Koopa is a parser generator, made for COBOL. It can handle source files in isolation (no preprocessing required) and doesn't mind the presence of CICS/SQL fragments. The grammar is easily extensible in a way which minimizes the impact on the overall code.

    The Flight Log software allows all flight crews, Pilots, Flight Engineers, Reo’s and other GIB’s etc, to record their flight time in a unified location namely their computer, regardless of platform, i.e., Linux, OSX, and other *nix systems as well as Windows. This is the only purpose of Flightlog, it does not do other functions such as flight planning, weight and balance etc as there are plenty of tools around if needed, to help do these functions. The OS (Open Source) version allows users to install the free Cobol compiler, build and run all self tests and then compile (or build) the Flightlog program.
