And the location of the compiler (i.e. installed or in development).
Unless you prefer to play with the path?!

I would even recommend that we be able to test individual programs, or
at least, to be able not to run all programs before a given one; that's
why I started coding Makefile's instead of one big script.

Another issue is to take care of "manual" runs like NC109M.

Practically, I think we should first start the new project, donate
what is needed, and when ok, suppress tools from our specific
projects.

So, who registers the cobol-utils project?
