Yes - Acucorp has a command line compiler.   

  we've taken the decision to use acubench for  development and the
command line compiler for production re-compiles.  Acubench  really does
make your life easier. (We have configured Samba so that the compiled
objects get deployed onto the unix server). 

One issue I'm still trying to resolve is whether I can swap between
Acubench for small edits and our own favourite editor (qedit and qedit
for windows) for bulk changes.   It's something I'm going to be asking
one of the Acucobol guys to look at.

Yes, it does have. Use ccbl to compile and runcbl to run .acu programs.

Could not find the AcuCOBOL manuals on their web site, but Google finds
copies on the web, just look for ccbl and runcbl keywords with AcuCobol.

If you get an AcuCOBOL demo version, it typically includes HTML manuals.

PS: keep in mind that AcuCorp has been purchased by MicroFocus recently.
