oddvar gave more information on the question:
Hi, and thank you for responding. My message is that there are no
serious programming tool in Linux/Ubuntu for Business Programming. And
then Cobol w/databases are number 1.  OpenCobol is from what I
understand a Cobol dialect that is converted to C. In my view that is
going from what we need, a secure and stabil language to something that
is out of control.

What Linux/Ubuntu really need for competing with Windows is a tool that
is usable for real business programming and then there are no competitor
to Cobol and DB2. I mention MicroFocus and Maiframe Express as an
example of what we need in Open Source World to compete with Windows.

Josh Kupershmidt requested for more information:
oddvar, 
Have you tried the existing Cobol solutions already available for Ubuntu, such as the "open-cobol" or "libcob1" packages, and if so do you have specific complaints with these packages?
