Hi kvshetye,
no, I was not talking about the DOS-based COBOL compiler. Although it compiled DOS-based programs I last worked with it under OS/2 (but it's the same COBOL.EXE, you are right). I wanted to install the NT-based version, and this did not work. Fortunately, the problem is solved now...
Thank you, Clive!
John, Derek and Britton are of office. I'm gonna wait or I try Fujitsu NetCOBOL for Windows Professional Edition that seems to be reasonably cheap although it costs more than ten times as much as one of the better C++ compilers. Still pretty hard times for COBOL programmers...

contract and lost Update diskettes or .ZIP file(s).
You mean: if I set the clock back, SETUP will install version 4.0.38 instead of version 4.0.07? How does it do that? I didn' see two COBOL.EXE in the archives.
I have installed an old Micro Focus COBOL Compiler that turned out to be Version 4.0.07. It Compiles, the linker links, but the programs do not run. Reason seems to be ADIS, Micro Focus' Accept/Display module. Programs with the compiler`s version 4.0.38 ADIS and runtime do run.
