I was doing COBOL programming (for money) when I was (hyper)active in this forum. Now, not so much. But I think trying out your COBOL port would be interesting, just for grins.
Actually, what twobob did was port Hercules to the K5.
And I went around, collecting IBM software that was in the public domain.
But once you have vm-370 running on the Kindle . . .

And I apologize -
I think the 360-Cobol toolchain is missing the assembler.
But you where gone by then and I am just as glad to never see Cobol ever again.

I am pretty sure that 360-Fortran works.

All history now.
My but how history seems to be piling up behind one so rapidly these days.
