Yes, several Cobol compilers are available including:

	Sun Cobol (one of the following, I believe.)
	LPI Cobol
	AcuCobol
	RM/Cobol                800-762-6265
	Micro Focus Cobol       415-856-4161

We are currently using LPI Cobol for teaching.  We find it gives poor
error messages and also has lengthy compile times.  As a result we are
just beginning to evaluate other compilers.  We have no results to
report at this time.

I don't have the other phone numbers or any addresses handy, but could
ask someone else here for them if others don't supply the information.
