===== Microsoft COBOL-80 Compiler v.4.01 =====



This is Microsoft's is Microsoft's COBOL-80, which runs on the 8080/Z-80/8085, 

brings the world's most widely used computer programming language to the 

microcomputer user. COBOL-80 is comparable to COBOL systems found on mini-

computers and large mainframes. Consequently, it greatly enhances the

usefulness of microcomputers because it gives users access to the

incredibly large number of programs already written in COBOL. Because

COBOL-80 is a standard, COBOL programs written on other computers may

be run easily on 8080, z-80 or 8085 systems.
