For Sun's cobol, http://store.sun.com/catalog/doc/BrowsePage.jhtml?catid=51121

For GNU COBOL, beta I think, http://www.gnu.org/software/cobol/cobol.html

For Tiny COBOL, http://tiny-cobol.sourceforge.net

I leave it to you to decide if the free ones are decent or even functional
for what you want to do.
