Hello there,

a friend is working with COBOL on MSDOS-machines. He is now trying to
port his programs to CP/M. But the Microsoft-COBOL he owns seems not to
compile his programs. Now he is looking for other compilers on CP/M.
I forgot the name of his MSDOS compiler, but the company earlier sold a
version for CP/M which is no more available.
Are there any other COBOL compilers for CP/M than Microsoft?

Another question. I recently got ZEX50 from SIMTEL20 and tried it under
ZCPR33, but the only thing that happened was a message like 'the Z-system
 lacks some features required' or so. In the latest version of Z3LIB
I found the description of the new enhanced environment descriptor.
After working on  my SYS.ENV, the ZEX error message changed to
'incompatible RSX changed address at (0001)'.
As I understand, ZEX 5.0 should run under ZCPR33. Obviously,
I missed something.
Any hints would be helpful.

Thanks, Roger.
