THIS WILL BE THE LAST VERSION OF ANSI-STANDARD COBOL. AS A RESULT OF MY
DECISION THAT THIS WILL BE THE FINALE VERSION I AM PLACING THE SOURCE CODE
TO THE COMPILER, INTERGRATED ENV. {WAS TO BE VERSION 7.00 COULDN'T GET ALL
THE BUGS OUT},
THE LINKER {COULDN'T GET ALL THE BUGS OUT EITHER}
INTO PUBLIC DOMAIN.

AS MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE I'M DIEING OF AIDS AND IT IS MY WISH THAT THIS NOTE
NEVER BE REMOVED FROM THE ZIP OR ARCHIVE FILE AND THAT ALL FILES REMAIN INTACK.

IT IS MY HOPE THAT ANOTHER PROGRAMMER WILL PICKUP THE PIECES AND CONTINUE
THE WORK THAT I'VE BEEN DOING.

THE SOURCE CODE WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE FROM AV-SYNC BBS IN ATLANTA GA.
AND IT IS MY WISH THAT IT NOT BE DISTRIBUTED TO OTHER BBS'S AS BILL TULLIS
HAS BEEN A FRIEND AND A SUPPORT TO ME, I WISH THAT HIS BOARD BE THE SOLE
LOCATION OF THE SOURCE.

NOW THAT I'VE SAID MY PEACE..

TO INSTALL THE COMPILER AND USE IT YOU MUST FIRST COPY ALL THE FILES TO
A DIRRECTORY ON YOUR HARD DRIVE. YOU MAY USE FLOPPY'S SEE LATER ON.
COPY THE FREEWARE PROGRAM DPATH.COM THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN LOST TO YOUR
ROOT DIRRECTORY.

AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE:

SET PATH=
DPATH

TO RUN THE COMPILER TYPE:
COBOL

THE SCREEN WILL ASK YOU FOR THE PROGRAM TO COMPILE GIVE ONLY THE PROGRAM
NAME WITHOUT AN EXTENSION. THE COMPILER ASSUMES THAT IT WILL FIND THE FILE
WITH THE .COB EXTENSION.

TO LINK THE PROGRAM TYPE:
LINK PROGRAMNAME,,,COBOL650

TO RUN THE PROGRAM THAT YOU COMPILED TYPE:
YOURPROGRAMNAME

THE COMPILER GENERATES A TRUE .OBJ CODE THAT IS THEN LINKED TO THE LIB VIA
A LINKER.
THE LINKER GENERATES A TRUE .EXE CODE TO EXECUTE.

IF YOU FIND THIS PROGRAM USEFUL THEN PLEASE SEND A $25.00 DONATION TO:
115 LYNTON RD.
JESUP GA. 31545
AND YOUR DONATION WILL GO TO AIDS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION.

END OF INSTALLATION AND ASSIGNMENT DOCUMENTATION
