Re: Cobol fo Unix

Michael,

If you don't need object cobol, check opencobol.org.
Soon will be working on solaris-64bit, aix5.3-64bit and hpux11.11-64bit
My understanding that it's already working on linux
SQL should be covered by preprocessors. At least working with Oracle, UDB
and Sybase.

Regards,
Sergey
