List-Id: The Unix Heritage Society mailing list Archived-At: List-Archive: List-Help: List-Owner: List-Post: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: From: segaloco via TUHS Reply-To: segaloco Reading through [1], there are documents offered by AT&T for the "Level II = COBOL" system, which some further research indicates is a product from Conv= ergent (same folks as the UNIX PC.) There's also the LPI-COBOL which appea= rs to be a Language Processor Inc. product. Are these the earliest AT&T endorsed COBOL solutions for UNIX or were there= other efforts either promoted by Bell or even perhaps developed locally th= at were in any use before this version? Or otherwise is there any other fa= mily of ubiquitous UNIX COBOL tools that was in use in the 70s and early 80= s, before the timeframe of this document? Additionally is anyone aware of any surviving code or binaries of either of= these or other, earlier efforts at COBOL on UNIX? I have no goal for this= information in mind yet, but just gathering details at this point. Thanks= all! - Matt G. [1] - http://bitsavers.org/pdf/att/000-111_ATT_Documentation_Guide_Nov87.pd= f
