I recently picked up a copy of "CTS-300 - DIBOL
Language Reference Manual"

I could find almost nothing about it online); does anyone have enough of a use
for this that I should put it in the high-priority scan list?
There's a DIBOL self-instruction book on bitsavers:

Calling DIBOL "COBOL-like" is stretching things quite a bit. I suppose
that the original idea was to get some sort of business HLL going on a
PDP-8, but no COBOL programmer would recognize the language.
