Dibol programming language

DIBOL or Digital Interactive Business Oriented Language is a COBOL related computer programming language originally marketed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1970. It has FORTRAN/BASIC like syntax with BCD arithmetic. A variant is known as Softbol.

The original version was produced for PDP-8 and PDP-11 systems, though it can also be run on other systems through an emulator. DIBOL-to-COBOL compilers are also available. Synergy/DE provide mechanisms for using existing Dibol code with new applications.
