 I am putting together a recommendation for a large software vendor who is
considering porting their product to UNIX.  The package is about 1,000,000
lines of source code in the languages

  ANSI C
  ISO Pascal
  1974 ANSI COBOL.

 I would like to find a vendor who sells compilers for all 3 languages which
can link to and call each other, running on UNIX (preferably the Unisys
U6000/70/80 [ Sequent Symmetry ]).

 There are obviously not many vendors who can do this: I only know of LPI in
Massachusetts.  To ease the constraints, how about a vendor of ANSI C
and ISO Pascal which can be linked to Micro Focus COBOL/2?

 Yes, I have thought of running the Pascal through a Pascal->C converter, but
I am still exploring other options.

  Thanks...
