Version 0.1.12 of the Wildcat COBOL compiler is out now, with bug fixes in the handling of complex IF statements, and support for all relation operators.

Pieter Baele has been working on a COBOL syntax highlighting bundle for TextMate and I have started putting together a COBOL syntax highlighting definition file for Smultron.

To make Smultron use this syntax highlighting, you will need to put this file into /Applications/Smultron.app/Contents/Resources/Syntax Definitions and add the following text into /Applications/Smultron.app/Contents/Resources/SyntaxDefinitions.plist:

<dict>
  <key>name</key>
  <string>COBOL</string>
  <key>file</key>
  <string>cobol</string>
  <key>extensions</key>
  <string>cbl cob</string>
</dict>
