4.01 4.66 4.67 4.68 CP/M-80

Summary: The following are the softcard requirements for the Apple II version of the Microsoft COBOL Compiler for the CP/M-80 operating system: 1. Version 4.01 requires the Microsoft SoftCard I. 2. Version 4.66 will not run on the Microsoft Premium SoftCard or the Microsoft SoftCard II. 3. Version 4.67 requires the Microsoft Premium SoftCard or the Microsoft SoftCard II. 4. Version 4.68 requires Microsoft SoftCard II. Apple COBOL will not run on a StarCard. Zero-length REL files will be generated. The CP/M-80 operating system is able to address a maximum of 64K. Therefore, COBOL does not support the Apple II memory expansion card (which expands memory to 1 megabyte). Please note that all versions of Apple II CP/M-80 COBOL require a Microsoft SoftCard and the CP/M-80 operating system, Version 2.20.
