For my usual rates, I'll code you a picture(3) library that will look
and feel like the real thing, interface to your favorite 4GL, and run
at least as fast on a Unix-based 68000 as the COBOL code on an IBM
machine costing 10 times as much to buy, operate, and waste programmer
time on.  Or has somebody already done this?
