> (2) Would anyone want to use COBOL on FreeBSD? Why? :) I actually considered writing a COBOL compiler, and went so far as to create a grammar. I think that it might be an OK thing for TenDRA (so it doesn't get GPL'ed), but for use with GNU tools, I'm afraid that it would have to be a COBOL-TO-C translator, if I ever decided that it was worthwhile finishing the thing for use on FreeBSD. Oh, yeah, it's not ANSI COBOL-85 (I hate what Harris did to the language that I thought could not get more bloated...).
