I need to somehow purchase Microsoft Cobol version 1.7 (yes that is 1.7).
I have version 2.2, but I've been asked (commanded) to rebuild a piece of
software that was written in version 1.7. Normally this would be a simple
recompile to the newer version, but I only have the source code to a single
part of that program (the program is enourmous folks, so rebuilding it is
out of the question. The part I have is about a megabyte of code and it is
only about 1/3 of the total). So any changes that I make must be compatable
with the previous stuff (pre-version 2.0 MS Cobol would compile to .obj files
and you would then have to link these files with the proper libraries. Post-
version 2.0 stuff would both compile and link producing a .int file meaning
that post-ver 2.0 stuff produced interpreted code while pre-ver 2.0 stuff
produced executable code. I figured it would be the other way around, but
I guess the Fed govt perferred it that way).
What is it? It's a very old piece of accounting software that is no longer
supported. Anyone who knows how one could go about downgrading their
software, please speak up.

I need a version of Microsoft Cobol before version 3.0. Version 1.7 would
be the most preferable, but any older version will do. If you're willing
to part with your software, registration, and manuals, I'll be willing to
purchase them for $300 (MS Cobol ver 3.2 sells for $549 wholesale).
