Fujitsu COBOL Compiler
Fujitsu used to provide an early version (V3) of their COBOL compiler for free. It worked
well but didn't have many features that were introduced in later versions so it didn't
threaten sales for business use. That version, created in the early '90s, no longer works
on today's computers and versions of Windows and is no longer supported. It has not made
sense to offer more recent versions in this way.
Today Fujitsu NetCOBOL compilers are only sold at their full retail price - a price that
is set by the value delivered for business use. This price is usually beyond the reach of
most students and academic institutions.
