When posting to comp.lang.cobol please include a rate, or range of rates,
for the position(s) offered; to do otherwise leads many to conclude that
you are either trolling for resumes or running a blind ad to determine
rates.

I'm also wondering if he's kidding. DIBOL was Digital Equipment
Corporation's answer to Cobol, and if I remember correctly, ran on
PDP-11 machines, e.g. 16-bit machines like an 8086. As the last of them
was made back in the 1990s, I would really wonder what place would still
be using it.

It just so happens I ran into some DIBOL earlier this year at a large
factory that has most of their WIP on a DIBOL system. It has been
ported to C and runs on UNIX but it's definitely the old DIBOL.
I later did a search and found that the company that currently owns the
software was at that time hiring. If anyone is interested I could
possibly retrace those steps.

As far as I'm concerned anyone who posts without a rate, or range of
rates, is to be treated as one who is kidding, sure... but the thought
occurred to me that someone is sending someone else on a wild goose chase,
aye.

| A number of companies developed derivatives of Dibol, including Omtool
(Softbol); Software Ireland (Unibol); and DISC (now Synergex), who
developed DBL. DBL (DISC) worked out an agreement several years ago to
officially take over DIBOL from DEC, and migrated all of DEC's
customers to DBL. DISC also acquired Softbol from Omtool and converted
most, if not all, Unibol customers to DBL. Over the years, DBL has
evolved into a portable, multi-platform development environment, now
called Synergy/DE.
Nowadays, Synergy/DE allows the development and deployment of
multi-platform, web-enabled applications that integrate with e-commerce
solutions, ODBC-enabled reporting tools, RDBMSs, ActiveX components,
wireless devices, and other third-party applications and data. With
your existing DIBOL applications, you can quickly and easily migrate to
the hardware platform of your choice, add a Web or Visual Basic front
end to access your existing back-end logic, migrate your application to
Windows, simplify development efforts and build more powerful
applications, and access existing logic and data from Microsoft .NET,
Java, Visual Basic, Active Server Pages, and other COM-compliant
applications.
Synergy/DE is currently installed in 65,000 sites and is used by 2.5
million people.
