Gixc.py

Put the script in PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin.

#!/usr/bin/env python3


Simple Python script for the gixsql gnucobol compilation workflow.
The script accepts program names in the style:
    "program_name"."cbl" or "program_name"."cob"
The program_name has not dots in it.

The programs gixsql and cobc can also be executed manually, if specific parameters are required.
