Funny You should mention COBOL. I have here in front of me the July 6 issue of "Software News". It contains a blurb for a company called:

CA-Micro Focus, Inc 1601 Civic Cneter Drive, Santa Clara, Ca. 95050

which has announced an implementation of CIS Cobol for pdp-11 processors, but it "can be made available to others with UNIX and the C language". The compiler will cost "between $1,000 and $2,000 with the final fingure to be announced shortly."

Hope this helps.
