There's a DIBOL self-instruction book on bitsavers: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp8/dibol/DEC-08-WDRA-D_DIBOL_Programming_A_Self-Instruction_Manual_Sep1970.pdf Calling DIBOL "COBOL-like" is stretching things quite a bit. I suppose that the original idea was to get some sort of business HLL going on a PDP-8, but no COBOL programmer would recognize the language. --Chuck
