Hi!

I need to find a cheap COBOL-85 compiler that will work on either MS-DOS,
Microport System V/386r3 UNIX, or DOS MERGE under Microport System V/386r3.

The compiler should:

	* Be as cheap as possible.

	* Accurately cover all of COBOL-85 and/or IBM COBOL/II.

	* Have a decent user's manual.

	* Does NOT need to be fast or generate optimized object code.

	* Does not need to have GUI's, debuggers, or other frills.

	* Not need Extended memory or Expanded memory.

I would be most grateful for any recommendations. Also, if you happen to
have such a compiler that you are no longer using, I would be happy to
purchase it. 

Please e-mail responses. I will summarize to the net if response warrants.
