Grab your air sickness bags:
Does anyone know where I can get RM Cobol Version 2.1 or later for the
Sun Workstation? We are trying to purchase a particular application
to the Sun. It needs RM Cobol Version 2.1 or later to work.
Please call me on the telephone (I need to know about it immediatly) if
you know where I can get this.
Thanks,

The company Gang-Nail is listed in the Sun Catalyst catalog as selling
RM-Cobol. After trying for a week to get someone there who knew about it.
I discoverd that Gang-Nail is a company that makes wood structures (trusses,
etc). They had originally gotten RM-Cobol ported to the Sun to run some
internal applications and somehow ended up selling it to the world at large.
According to their spokesperson, they have no interest in maintaining the port.
They have an ancient, crusty version that is useless to people who are porting
current software. The have absolutly no plans to port the current release
from Ryan Macfarland. RM has no plans to support the Sun. Sun does not seem
interested themselves.
So we are going to buy an ATT 3B2-310 computer instead. Sun looses a sale...
