Depends on what you mean.
For example, my editor (which I use for work like this)
MODE-'COBOL'
72.b -.a -.t -.h 8.h 12.h
.r
Roughly: for COBOL - ring alarm bell if I type past column 72. Do not autoindent. Do not use tabs (spaces only). Remove all tabulation except at column 8 and column 12. For FORTRAN 66 (77) work, I just set a single tabulation at column 7.
But that is just me. You should look into THE: The Hessling Editor on linux, etc. Look into Regina Rexx.
which would be all the "tooling" needed. You could run a mainframe emulator (look into Hercules)
How is 80 column "punch card" style editing and printer output terrible?
