I've been writing COBOL for decades... Became interested in OC about a
years ago, could not get it installed on Vista. Actually Vista sux,
nothing runs right it except IE! I'll be loading XP on it soon.
However, and this is leading up to a questions or two. I picked up a new
desk top box (custom built, no OS) yesterday, loaded Ubuntu on it + the
268 updates, OC 1.0-1, Eclipse 3.2.
I am not a Linux expert, thats why I choose Ubuntu, and I've never used
Eclipse. I really don't want to get into the big learning curve of
Eclipse, projects, and all that. I just want to edit COBOL, and compile,
link, ....... an so on. I prefer the command line, and don't want to be
stuck in a GUI! I've been using Programmer Studio (
http://www.programmerstudio.com/ ). It's a GUI Editor, but also allows
me to enter/save my command line stuff to compile and link. It
understands most all common languages, and is multi-platform, including
the HP3000. Maybe it would run on Linux with Wine?
I have allot of COBOL code to move from my HP3000 to Linux OC..... My
goal is to eventually setup a Linux server, and emulate the HP3000
environment on it, lots of COBOL!
What is the best/simplest path to take in the Edit and compile area?
Is there a simple side to Eclipse, I don't know what half the crap on
the screen is?
What are you guys using to manager you code?
