Welcome!

We are pleased to announce the Fujitsu Version of COBOL: From Micro to Mainframe, Third Edition. This new Fujitsu version parallels our earlier work, but it has been updated to include documentation for Fujitsu COBOL Version 4.0. (Those familiar with Version 3.0 should click here to learn about differences in the new compiler. Anyone using Windows 2000 or Windows XP with either version of the Fujitsu compiler should click here for compatibility tips.) Additional information on Windows XP compatibility can be found by downloading a second document.

All listings in the text have been modified for the new compiler. A new appendix on linking COBOL and Visual Basic has been added and the set of student programming projects has been thoroughly revised. The Fujitsu software has been upgraded to Version 4.0 and is provided with the text at no additional cost to the student. Also available, at no additional cost, is a new online study guide (Companion Web site) that provides an interactive review on a chapter-by-chapter basis. The site is of great value to the student as it contains true/false, multiple choice, and fill-in-the blank questions that can be taken for self-evaluation or e-mailed to instructors.

We are also continuing to support the original Third Edition of COBOL: From Micro to Mainframe written specifically for the Micro Focus compiler. This edition contains two appendices that document Micro Focus Personal Cobol, and the software may be bundled, at an extra cost, with the text. Professors who opt for the Third Edition also have the option to order the Net Express compiler from Micro Focus.
