Such a beastie does exist. However, I don't know who makes it. Last week
I interviewed with afirm that is doing a large part of its work in
COBOL. They are in the process of trashing their Burroughs mainframe and
replacing it with several NCR Towers which are SysVr2 boxes. They claim
to be using a great compiler that is available for SysV, MS-DOS, and
something else that I don't recall. They claimed it was great,
especially since they could move the source between several operating
systems without changing anythiong.

I'm sorry I can't give the name of it.
