Sure. I'm actually working on a Java/Cobol/DB2/SAS (quite big) project. It's
running on Unices platforms like AIX or Sun. I'd like to have a
demo-on-the-pocket made with a LinuxBox. So what I need ?
- DB2, because our server side is based on. Hopefully, IBM released its DB2 UDB
on Linux Cool. It comes with a cobol/java/C SQL preprocessor. Too cool.
- Java, Okay, it "works" :)
- Cobol... How do I build my 800+ stored procedures and programs on my pretty
Linux box ?

Hey, I NEED GNU Cobol ! because an RS/6000 don't fit on my suitcase !

So, is there a commercial cobol compiler for Linux ? give me its name if so. It
could help me waiting your outstanding smart GNU Cobol compiler !

Keep on the work !
