We are in the business of migrating Unisys COBOL mainframe
applications to Unix.

You are not alone... :-)

There are several COBOL people in this newsgroup with specific Unisys
experience and at least one of them is currently working in Java.

I find that statement interesting as I, too, have experience in COBOL
and DML on a Univac 1100. And then, until about a year ago we used
a VAX and VMS COBOL here in the CS Department. And, recently, I have
been working with the free Unix COBOL's mostly because I really like
COBOL and still hope someone looking for COBOL experience will find me. :-)

I trimmed the rest, but let me at least say it looked like real good
advice to me!!
