I'm a outside computer tech for a company that has been hired to see if it would be possible to transfer a Banker II software from a old unix server to a newer slackware server. Since I'm the only one with linux expirence I have been given the dubious honor to see if its possible.

So far I have ftp'd the entire bii dir from the unix server to the slackware server. I noticed it had a file called COMPILE in the src/ dir when I opened it up it seemed to be similar to a makefile. However when I run it I get the following errors:

./COMPILE: line 40: runcobol: command not found
./COMPILE: line 48: runcobol: command not found

I have installed tinycobol and open-cobol but no luck. Am I wasting my time here? Would a better operating system work then slackware?

Thanks in advance,

Justyn

What UNIX operating system did it come off of?

Sorry for the late reply,

Its System 5

Anyone got any guesses?

Seems like you need to create a script called runcobol that executes the colbol compiler. You'll probably need to check the parameters that passed to runcolbol and pass them on.

just a few guesses.

Man for someone who knows very little about cobol this is gonna suck. Thanks for the guess though.
