Interesting. I remember back in 1979 debugging the old Micro Focus COBOL. It was one of the few tools available for z80 based machines running CP/M and MP/M.
It had a screen handler that used DISPLAY and ACCEPT and a primitive ISAM file system. Nice thing was that it would run in 48K of memory. MP/M only gave you 44K in bank switched memory in the first bank and 48K in the other 3 banks (if you had that config). Nice to see a survivor of all the platform changes over the years and a truly excellent COBOL workbench. REALIA COBOL and CICS were also pretty neat in their day. Eventually dumped by CA. Learned to like COBOL over the years, just. It does the job.
