What is the correct/current URL for the OpenCOBOL project page?

You should be able to go to the OpenCOBOL project page and download the source to the latest version and build it from there yourself.

Brian,

 

Thanks for the info.  I have the older version.  Where can I pick up the new version?

This code works under 2.0 pre-rel

$ cobc -free -x nums.cob
$ ./nums
verify-key +000000005
rf-aid 00
rf-aid-just 05
rf-aid 05
end

Not sure if that helps or not.

Cheers,
Brian
