I just took a position at a company where the reports for a Btrieve-based accounting
program (PAM) have been done in MF Cobol.  The data files were originally written in an
IBM Mainframe environment, and the programmer used MF Cobol to port it to a pc/network
environment.

I've checked out the MicroFocus Website, called and received documentation and prices,
etc.  The MF Cobol Workbench (16 or 32 bit) is now selling for $3,030 per single user
license.  I know there's a personal version for $75 or so, but it's not recommended for
large-scale environments.

Any recommendations on a compiler that will process Cobol written in MF for a lower
price, or as good as the "workbench"?
