    If you start with cobol you can try to take Kobol, OpenCobol or TinyCobol.
    But if you have a Cobol written application with thousands of statements
    you must use one of the prof. Cobol compilers (Micro Focus, Acu, Fujitsu,
    IBM, etc.) because the extensions of the Compiler are the salt in the
    soupe.

    A GUI for Linux has nobody, only TinyCobol makes some translations to Tcl/Tk
    from screen section.

    We use now Tcl/Tk for the front-end and MF-Cobol for the back-end.
