How proprietary is the "COBOL file system"

Can anyone tell me if MicroFocus COBOL can read Fujitsu ISAM files, and vice
versa? What about Realia?
Obviously, at the source code level (SELECT and FD/01) the code is
compatible, but what about object level?
Is there a single PC ISAM system, or do all the COBOL vendors have their own
proprietary indexed system which is delivered with their COBOL compiler?
I know what I THINK the answer is, but would be gald to hear any other
facts/opinions about this.
Pete.
