The students of the COBOL class that I've been mercilessly 
assigned to teach have to use a version of WATBOL which 
resides on the campus' mainframe.  Not only is access
to this compiler difficult, hardcopies must be sent to
a central printer, and the students have to pay for anytime
spent on the system. 

It would be of immense aid to both them and myself if a 
low-cost COBOL compiler was available for the pc.  

If you're aware of such a godsend, please reply asap.  The
class starts next week.  Thanks.
