[NCLUG] COBOL Compiler for Linux?

[grant at amadensor.com]

I have only seen two options:
1)  Open source compilers that convert to C first (not really an issue, it
runs fine, in fact, it is easier to link with C libraries, and you can
make the conversion and compile part of one make file or shell script so
you never see the C)
2)  MicroFocus costs a whole pile of money.
