Re: M/F Personal Cobol 2.0 for Dos problem running under windows

If you want to continue to use an older COBOL compiler for MS-DOS
under Windows XP, have you considered running it in a DOS emulator.

Here's a free one, although it was originally written for running DOS
games:

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

I was able to run the education version of Realia COBOL, a crippled
version of RealiaCOBOL 3.0 from about 1990, in DOSBOX 6.3.  In a WinXP
dos box the compiler crashes when attempting to write data to the DOS
screen by poking data into fixed memory locations.  That no longer
works under Windows XP.

I hope that helps.
