A quick Deja News search reveals:

>From the comp.lang.cobol FAQ I pull this:

	3.4 for Linux?
	AcuCOBOL-85  and AcuCOBOL-GT are available for 
	Linux.  Also,  the iBCS2 code for Linux should 
	mean that it is possible to get  some of the i486 
	COBOL packages for operating systems such as SCO UNIX
	to work.

	There  were reports that earlier versions of Micro 
	Focus products worked   under   SCO  UNIX  emulations  
	under   Linux.   However, representatives from Micro 
	Focus doubt that this would  still  be true with their 
	current compiler technology.

Not too difficult, really.  And I don't even know COBOL.
