The WINZOS component is "human smart"; it will detect EXEC SQL, EXEC CICS components, and by the magic of human engineering, will preprocess the subsystem components embedded in a COBOL application program.  In total, there are approximately 900 programs that comprise WINZOS and WINIDE

We have finished creating the perfect GnuCOBOL IDE :-) This software is free forever . Moreover, it offers free regular updates. It is more straightforward than any other COBOL IDE and matches or surpasses their functionality. The kinetic debugger introduces a professional-level debugger to GnuCOBOL.
