Raincode no - did try it but have too many issues and even more for
Heirloom could not even compile its own sample programs.
Did pass the issue to its support with zero response - so gave up on both/

These two are commercial products.
Not used Cobol-IT as it is based on opencobol compiler v1 but they do not
abide by the software license (open source) and provide the compiler source
to create the current version etc.

GnuCobol has a larger block of support for the Cobol standards up to last
year - It is NOT commercial so some times bug fixes take a while but one's
I have noticed as critical have been dealt with quick - it does not
happen often..

Application exceeding 1 M lines in production - well in excess but almost
all under *nix but there is some under Windowz.

I am not the only one as there are a reasonable number that frequent the
GnuCobol forums with similar numbers and may be a lot more including s/w
houses.
