Apparently deskware is a known, bona fide organization.  Considering the
massive number of cobol programmers around, and despite how cumbersome the
prospect is (and with the advantage of factoring in the things gordon
said), i guess someone thinks there's leverage in making cobol a scripting
language.  I think it's not so different than making interpreted versions
of C (but i'm not very C friendly).
