work hard to avoid writing any of the applications that COBOL has been used for,

because it?s much more economical to buy a package to do the job. But if a

fledgling 10-person company with one programmer (or a modest 100-person company

move forward from where you are without taking huge risks, COBOL is worth at

least a look.
