An Apple II emulator, such as AppleWin (free, Windows) or Virtual][ ($, MacOS), that supports the Microsoft SoftCard will let you run CP/M software. Microsoft's COBOL compiler is easily available from various Apple and CP/M archives. CP/M itself is a little bit of a learning curve, but at least most everything is free, depending on your platform. There are probably Linux options as well for Apple emulation.
- reaperducer 4y agoIf you want to use CP/M on macOS, you can skip the Apple ][ emulation, and go straight to Thomas Harte's program CP/M for OS X.
- themadturk 4y agoI've never been able to figure out how to open a file by passing the filename as an argument to the program you're opening. Apparently there's no ccp.com available. It's fine if you're using WordStar, which lets you view the files in the current directory; impossible if you don't have a menu interface to open a file.
