isCOBOL Evolve includes several pieces of software that are basic to any software development environment. The following pieces of software form the core of isCOBOL Evolve:

isCOBOL Evolve Product	Command to invoke the product
isCOBOL Compiler	iscc
isCOBOL Runtime Framework	iscrun
isCOBOL Debugger	iscrun -d

Notice that the isCOBOL compiler, runtime framework and debugger are all contained in a single file, "iscobol.jar", placed in the isCOBOL lib directory. This file is discussed below.
