It's very well done and runs on both Linux and WinXX (write once and compile on both). It costs about $39 (if I remember right). They have a debugger plugin and will have DBSM plugins very soon. They even have plans for an X/GUI development interface add-on. The only other options are; on the free/open site there's TinyCOBOL and OpenCOBOL. Both are very active but not yet up to dealing with ANSI 85 and above yet. On the commercial site there's a number of them with the lowest cost option being PerCOBOL at $1500. -- Paradise; can it be all I heard it was? I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there.
