+OpenCOBOL is an open-source COBOL compiler. OpenCOBOL implements a substantial
+part of the COBOL 85 and COBOL 2002 standards, as well as many extensions of
+the existent COBOL compilers.
+
+OpenCOBOL translates COBOL into C and compiles the translated code using the
+native C compiler. You can build your COBOL programs on various platforms,
+including Unix/Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.
