AC> books for OS/2 but have never seen a COBOL compiler for
AC> OS/2.  I am getting ready to take a couple COBOL classes

  If you don't mind something less than the latest version, there is a
place called "Surplus Software" that is currently selling
Microsoft COBOL v4.5 for $75.00.  It will generate OS/2 executables but
only for the old 1.x version of OS/2.

  Here's how to get a hold of them:

    Surplus Software International
    (503) 386-5215 - customer service 8am-5pm Pacific time.

  I placed an order with them and had no problems.  I bought Generic CADD
6.0 for $99 and later saw 6.1 in a store for over $300.  You should
probably ask for a catalog first and check to make sure their return
policies are ones you can live with.  It's mainly the "No returns on
opened products" that may give you pause.
