The accompanying manual provides step-by-step explanations and illustrations of RM/COBOL 85 text editing, compiling, runtime options, debugging and a new section on troubleshooting. The package includes an example diskette that contains programs, input data and output for the first programming assignment in each chapter of "Structured Cobol Programming", 7th edition. It also includes programs with common errors for debugging practice and a READ ME file for details on the disk's contents.
