- I've still got "demo" compilers for Microfocus and AcuCobol kicking
- around somewhere. All our cobol point-of-sale application software was
- compiled and run on 3B2's for many years. The demo compilers work
- great, but you have to set the clock on your machine back to 1988 if
- you want to use them. :-) AcuCobol still supports the 3B2 - in fact
- their latest 3B2 release was compiled right here on kopachuk (a 3B2-400)
- this spring.
