Off Topic - COBOL Compiler

Hi All,

I know this list is not really the place for this, but I would like to know
if there is any real interest in developing this project.

I would be interested in developing a free(GPL) COBOL compiler. 

Are there any individuals/companies/organizations interested in this project ?

Are there any individuals/companies/organizations interested in donating
source code for this project ? For example a COBOL parser(wishful thinking
I think).

Here is a brief outline:
- A front end compiler based on GCC(EGCS ?). Something like the GNU Pascal.
- COBOL-85 ISO/ANSI standard. No Object COBOL.

Any comments and/or suggestions would be appreciated. NO RANTS Please.

David
