Of course. We've had such a product (currently called "NetExpress") for years. GUI screen-painting, code-generating development system; IDE; all that nonsense. I understand some of our competitors (Fujitsu, etc.) have similar offerings, but I don't work on the COBOL side of the house, so I couldn't say for certain. Given the still-huge COBOL market, it would be rather surprising if this sort of thing wasn't available. -- Michael Wojcik michael.wojcik@merant.com AAI Development, MERANT (block capitals are a company mandate) Department of English, Miami University Thus, the black lie, issuing from his base throat, becomes a boomerang to his hand, and he is hoist by his own petard, and finds himself a marked man. -- attributed to a "small-town newspaper editor in Wisconsin"
