UCSD Pascal should run on an Altair with SSSD soft-sectored diskettes. I'm not sure what would be required for MITS format beyond transferring the files to a new format. I think UCSD PASCAL was stand-alone and did not run under CP/M.

I've got Nevada COBOL for CP/M running on my Altair Clone, but I'm unable to get running any of the COBOL 'Hello, World!' programs that are available around the WorldWide Web. The couple of COBOL programs that come with Nevada COBOL (CONFIG.CBL and RENUMBER.CBL) work fine, so it's presumably that I'm putting things in the wrong columns or using conventions that Nevada COBOL doesn't follow. I've tried cutting down one of the supplied programs to make a model to work from, but whatever I'm deleting is making the compilation fail.
Has anybody got a simple COBOL program that works under Nevada COBOL that I could use as a model to learn from?

I tried the Microsoft COBOL (version 4.65) on that site but its ZIP file expands to make 42 files occupying 361k, which is more than can fit on an Altair disk. Any idea which files I don't need or whether (and how) I can span them across multiple disks?
