Free Cobol CompilerAn Introduction To COBOL

There is an excellent COBOL compiler FREE at ADD1TOCOBOL.Com. Version 1 lacks Report Writer support, but Version 2 which is scheduled to come out in June or July of this year is supposed to have the support included.I have used vs 1 for several months now and find it (while finicky) to be a great compiler.
