Tiny Cobol is the only Linux compiler that I've used thus far as it was
the only free and more or less full-featured one I could find. It does
have a few weird quirks from what I'm used to from MicroFocus compilers,
such as comments starting in column 2, instead of column 7. Also, any
time I've tried using an EVALUATE statement I've gotten a segmentation
fault during compilation.

So consider yourself warned that it might not have all the functionality
you might want. It does, however, come pre-packaged for debian, so you
can use dpkg to install it without any major problems.
