Fujitsu for Linux - but it has no SCREEN SECTION or X/Open
ACCEPT/DISPLAY (ie DISPLAY .. AT or UPON CRT). It is usable with SP/2
and/or CGI or other interactive systems. Good SQL and file system
support. Zero runtime cost.

OpenCobol - a work in progress.

TinyCobol - apparently usable in many ways, probably not in all ways.

Kobol - $59.95 per machine. No file sharing/ record locking so may be
a problem with multi-user. Apparently SQL will be available any day
now, which should solve multi-user access.

RM, MF, Accu. require (AFAIK) runtime licences.
