For the benefit of tom@csh.ie, I will write a short summary of what I have
received when I asked about Cobol to C translators.

For one man, I recieved a lecture on how translating cobol to C would be 
impossible to understand since it would be a mechanical translation instead
of a human one, but that was of no matter to me.

Another man suggested I call VIS-Systems, and look at the VIS/TP package which
allows Cobol from different operating systems such as PICK to run under
Unix.

A man from the PC user's group in Canada told me he was going to write something
that would do the trick, or at least contempalting it.

drd@siia told me that the Software Moving company might be able to help me
(and they might) because they get cobol to run under the Unix environment.

I wrote to someone that I was referred to whom was writing a term paper or
thesis over the subject to see if he knows anything.  No reply as of yet.

I am still anxiously awaiting responses to my question, but in the mean time
that is all I have gotten.
