I seem to recall, a long time ago, advertised in Byte magazine, a group of
compilers called Nevada (i.e. Nevada COBOL, Nevada LOGO, etc).  I tested the
LOGO compiler out for a Tarbell 56K CP/M 2.2 system and it seemed to work
pretty well.  I'm afraid I don't have any current information on them, as I
don't keep back issues of Byte, but I'm sure they can't be too hard to find.

Hope this helps.
