# Cobol Files Linker - Turbo Pascal - MS-Dos - 1991



[Cette page en français.](LISEZMOI.md)



Utility created during my studies at the [I.U.T. in Aix en Provence](https://iut.univ-amu.fr/en) during Cobol courses. Back then, we didn't have the code editors or development environments we have today, and we had to write our programs in text files, sometimes in bits and pieces.



This program allows you to link source files in Cobol. If you run it on a project, it will produce a version of the file augmented by its dependencies (when INCLUDEs have been integrated into the soures). However, you should never need to use it.



This program was coded in [Turbo Pascal](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Pascal) in 1991.



It's possible that it is compilable with [Free Pascal](https://www.freepascal.org) but I haven't tried. Units not supplied can be found in the [DeveloppeurPascal/librairies-TurboPascal](https://github.com/DeveloppeurPascal/librairies-TurboPascal) repository. If any are missing, please let me know so that I can add them.



You'll find the binarie (8 bits) in the “release” folder. This is the September 19, 1993 version. You can only run it on an MS-Dos emulator, Windows 3.x or 95. There's no point in trying it on Windows beyond these versions.
