Hi Lora, You can try OpenCobol, it is free. The problem is that you'll need to install cygwin, unless you can access some linux environment. I'm using OpenCobol in both environments, cygwin and linux. Let me know if I can help. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lora To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2007 3:07 PM Subject: COBOL Compilers and JAWS I'm going to start experimenting with COBOL. Are there compilers that work well with JAWS? I'm hoping to grab a free compiler to start, so if you have any recommendations, let me know. Thanks.
