RM Cobol, Nevada Cobol, Cobol-80..., what a good old days to use those Cobol compilers back on early 90s. old soldiers never die but fade away.

Wow...Nevada Cobol. That brings back some memories. We were kinda shocked someone could fit it on a CP/M machine. Had a friend who learned enough using Nevada at home to get a job doing VM/370 Cobol for an airline and ended up becoming a VP by the time he retired.
Exactly, the Nevada Cobol was able to run under Apple II machine with Microsoft Softcard, quite amazing at the time.
