I would of to install GNU Cobol in the FreeDOS 1.3. Someone here can help me
that work??? I'm using the FreeDOS in a virtual machine DOSBOX-X, in the Debian

By the way, in the course of research for an article on free COBOL
compilers, I have found some for DOS. I thought they may be of
interest to you.
3 of them are here:

More info here:

COBOL650 as described above can be found here:

I hope this helps.
All of those compilers are very limited in their capabilities and are
pretty much dead. Beside that the manmrk.net site links the mcobol and
ucobol downloads to the same file (MCOBOL.RAR).
COBOL650 at some point had the greatest potential to be remotely useful,
but that package is now 32 years old (1990) and the author was
supposedly dying of aids at the time of release. The source code was
supposed to be available on an Atlanta BBS of a friend of his, but that
never saw the light of day and has to be assumed lost...
