Hello,

At this moment I'm doing some research on the application of
software metrics to enhance maintainability of a large set of 
Cobol modules. 
I read an article by Barry McGuilken and Lindsey Spratt of 
Language Technology, Inc.  about a tool called Inspector 
which meassures McGabe's cyclomatic complexity-metric for Cobol 
programs. 
I'm very interested in this tool and I like to know:

    How to get it. Which company markets Inspector in Europe or
    in the Netherlands? And for which hardware/OS environment 
    is Inspector available.

    Are there other tools to measure structure metrics of
    Cobol programs and how to get these tools?


If anybody can help me, thanks a lot!
