[NCLUG] COBOL Compiler for Linux?

[Bill Thorson]

Rick,

I remembered there was a GNU Cobol project.  I think this might be it.

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/cobolforgcc/

Not sure the state of the compiler, but, worth a look.

I haven't even seen a Cobol program since 1982.  I once heard there was 
an idea of creating an object oriented Cobol like C++ is to C.  They 
even had a name following the tradition of C++ name convention.  It was 
to be called "Add 1 to Cobol giving Cobol"
