Looking to refresh COBOL skills

[LeeJames75]

Howdy folks.

The last time I touched COBOL was 4 years ago, where I was using MF COBOL Ansi 85 on the PC.

I even have a cut down free Student verison of MF COBOL called PCOBOL which had editor, animator, screen designer and cut down compiler which needed "PCOBOL <name of program>" to run, which is on 1 floppy disk. However this disk is now corrupt.

I have seen some COBOL jobs in the UK for MF COBOL on PC.
These are low level support roles, mainly HR related.

I have an endless supply of COBOL books, all I need is a free program that is compatable for DOS - Win98 SE and + version that has an Editor, Animator, Screen Designer and compiler. So I can refresh my skills and have examples of work to show at interviews... Does anybody have a link for all the above.

Regards

Lee James
