- I'm a commuter (hour and twenty minutes one-way) and am presently taking
- my first programming class. Because of this lengthy drive I would really
- like to purchase COBOL for my PC and work on assignments at home.
- However, I've been told by several sources that PC versions compatible with
- KSU's mainframe COBOL are severely out of my price range (my range is $150 -
- $300). Is this true? If so, I would really appreciate any recommendations.
