I heard.  I'm almost done with my Fortran stuff, now there is yet another 
language people can convience me to port stuff to Linux, time for a new picture
on the dart board :)

Actually, I will most likely being taking a look into it.  In CLUG we have 
somebody working on an RPG (IBM Mainframe, not Role Playing Game) compilier
for Linux.  Mix Cobol, RPG, and DB2 on a Linux box and you have a nice platform
for IBM Mainframe shops to think about converting.

Hmm, sounds interesting.....

But still, Cobol...Ugh! :)
