I have a 20 000 lines of cobol code written for 1982 version of 
Ryan McFarlan Cobol for MS-DOS. I have to make some changes to
the code and would like to know which Cobol compiler is best for MS-DOS

In my opinion the compiler should generate code for
"ACCEPT XYZ" where XYZ is PIC X(5) field, that allows the user to use 
arrow keys, insert key and delete key, while entering information in this 
5 character field.

Please tell me about your experiance with cobol in the MS-DOS world.

Thank you,
