I studied CS in the late '80s, and there was a plethora of free languages
for DOS. I remember starting in Pascal and FORTRAN, then finding a LISP
interpreter and Modula-2 compilers available. And, of course, tons of ANSI C
compilers.
I never saw a COBOL compiler, don't know if it was because of demand or
hardware requirements - trying to think about the amount of work to get from
COBOL to X86 assembly boggles the mind.
