   As I'm a long distance call away from my school's dialups and am
   taking both Cobol and Pascal this semester, I'm looking for compilers
   for both which could operate under a BSD environment (I'm aware of
   commercial solutions for the SCO SVR4 environment but haven't seen
   anything on the net for BSD).

you could pick up Dave Gillespie's p2c pascal to C converter.  it
supposedly does a good job at translating pascal and then compiling
it.  it should be available on csvax.cs.caltech.edu among other
places. i have never personally used this package.  i don't know what
you can do about Cobol, though.

good luck with your classes.
