It would be much easier to give you some answer if you give us some
data
about your experience with lisp.

This one is tricky to answer. I haven't use it profesionally ever in my
life.
Did you wrote the cobol code yourself
or reading somebody's else code.
The whole code is either written by me or under mine supervision,so I
know how it works well inside-out.
What drums and bells you want( I assume to put, like
menus, GUI etc and
Keep the internal logic and add mouse driven look.

do you plan to use commercial vendor code or free implementation.
The vendor definately, I just didn't decided which one : I downloaded
allegro ide and it looks fine , I'll try later scieneer and lispworks
staff.
I work a little bit on some cobol fixing before mil bug and the
language really sucks so
4X smaller lisp code at least to be expected maybe more

The cobol is feeding my family for the past quarter century , and it's
doing it's job very well so keep your remarks Lisp is just more fun to
work for.
