Roger,

I have already downloaded from sim-basis a 10.0 release from Nov 04 2007,
but as soon as possible I shall download the new because I have a big problem :
a C program interface between cobol and psql don't work with the old 1.0.
I have past four hours with two Linux specialist system engeneers and too seems 
Ok
Two little programs in cobol and C works, the interface called by a C program 
works
but called by a cobol 1.0 program it don't work.
It seem that is because the data defined in the cob prog as "PIC s9(10) comp" 
and 
in C as "int" (we have also tried "long long") is translated by the compiler as
static unsigned char b_6[8] __attribute__((aligned));   /* zontst */
We are absolutly not sure of that, but the only way is to install again 
O-C-0.23.19
with wich this worked, but I can't compile db-1 with my current kernel and gcc :

alain[lib]$ uname -a
Linux pc11 2.6.20 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 5 22:21:23 CET 2007 i686 athlon-4 i386 
GNU/Linux
alain[lib]$ gcc -v

--verbose --target=i486-slackware-linux --host=i486-slackware-linux
Modèle de thread: posix
version gcc 3.4.6

So, I try to compile 0.23.19 with oldest versions.

Thanks in advance for any idea.
