[open-cobol-list] cobol's Runtime for linux

[Juan Fernando Gomez]

Hello Listeros:  

Today I come with another question.  

Case:  
        The countable program siigo, runs on cobol asi:  
        
        # /R8/u/siigo00/Z020 

        the routes is the one of less, the important thing is R8 that is the 
run-Time 
(what it takes to me to concuir that cobol is interpreted or something asi, 
of step somebody that clarifies this to me)  and Z020 that is the application 
done in cobol that is wanted to run.  

The Cobol is proprietor and costs a money hell.  Bases:  I found with two 
projects, opencobol and tinycobol, that is two compilers of cobol.  

I do not have the sources of the program, that a want to run (and never I am 
going them to have; -)  the unico that I have is a precompiled file that is 
interpreted with cobol.  

Question:  

Somebody has proven these programs, sera that are "interpreters" like 
rm-cobol?  as group of people my application with this?  

Gratefulness:  

Thanks!  -)
