Where can I download Fujitsu COBOL 3 or 4

Question

Hi,

I'm looking for fujitsu COBOL 3 or 4. According to the website of NetCobol, it was delivered with some old books.

If you know some titles of those books, I can search for them and buy them.

(I already found COBOL for Dummies, but that book is unavailble for sending to my country (Belgium))

Many thanks,

Yvan

Answer 1

From the NetCobol website:

Fujitsu COBOL (an earlier name for Fujitsu NetCOBOL) versions 3 and 4 are included in many COBOL books that were published in the run up to the new millennium. Some of these books are still being sold today, providing excellent material for learning COBOL. These versions of Fujitsu COBOL were great products for COBOL students but were designed to run on Windows 95 and Windows 98. Consequently they no longer work with current versions of Windows. If you have received one of these products in a COBOL text book, your only option for using them is to find an older computer that still has Windows 95 or Windows 98 – an increasingly rare item.

You might want to look into OpenCobol or Cobol-IT standard.

As far as I know SAMS "Teach Yourself COBOL In 24 Hours" by Thane Hubbell has Fujitsu COBOL v3 included on the disk. The book is listed on amazon.co.uk.
