RM Cobol for Windows XP and Linux

What is your question? What are you looking for?

Please excuse me.

I am looking for the RM COBOL compiler to run under Windows XP (compile.exe) AND the matching runcobol.exe to run under LINUX, being the object (*.cob) the same output from compile.exe

Today I do something alike: I compile under Windows 98, copy the *.cob to the Linux server and then run it under Linux environment.

But I wolud like to move from W98 to something more actual, like Windows XP (yes, I know, dont ask, please)

I hope things get clear now.

Oh! Of course, the question is: ¿from where can I get both compile.exe for W-XP and runcobol for Linux? I am taking about RM COBOL 85. Or something compatible with actual *.cbl files.

Hi
Check the same site from which you downloaded rm cobol 85. The same company who made for win98 may or must develop the compiler for winxp , is not it ?

Hi,

Are you looking for rmcobol compiler for windows xp and runtime (runcobol) for linux ?

Which version presently you are using?

why you want to compile in windows and run in linux?

I am using rmcobol for many years, if you need help, please explain.

Thanks, AI

I would like to use an actual Windows version for XP. I'm presently compiling using the DOS version of 85 running under XP DOS. After 45 years of COBOL programmingand being retired, I would like to continue to stay active but also want to retain as much of the files structure using R/M's index sequential as possible.

Any upgrades available on the web? I can not afford $5,000 to 10,000 for a full compiler.

Any sites that have anything available would be appreciated.

What I think you're asking for is either a cross-compiler or a virtual machine compiler. As suggested, the people who produced the compiler you're using probably have suggestions if not a solution.

I googled "COBOL byte code compiler" and got some interesting hits... If anything having to do with COBOL can be considered truly "interesting."

http://sourceforge.net/projects/universalcobol/ a COBOL compiler for the jvm, might be the ticket.
